The Virgin of Guadalupe is inspired by Aztec mythology and Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Energy of Love, with Christian and pre-Columbian attributes.

A white hand and a black one as a symbol of the union of races (the mestizaje).

The bishop asked the Indian Juan Diego to cut roses without having a rose bush and he showed them to him.

The painting has four hands and a broom, attributes of Coatlicue, mother goddess of the earth, with which she protected and cared for the home of the Mexicans.

The feather is for the Nahuatl warrior, who reached the highest state of communion with divinity, when he harmonized together the sky, represented by the mantle of stars, and the earth, represented by the tunic of the image.

The warrior transformed into an eagle, to access the highest state of spirituality.

The inspiration was in the city of New York and it was exposed in Art Expo New York 2.017.
