One culture that has always fascinated me is the Aztec culture, with its vibrant art, mythology, and history. I painted the Aztec and the Jaguar as equals, with mutual respect and admiration. The Jaguar was a revered figure in Aztec culture, representing strength, courage, and spirituality. The torch which is being extended to the Jaguar symbolizes knowledge and understanding. This is the second painting that has a short story written by Christian Riverón. *Original Painting will come with the printed short story Revered Aztec – Oil and liquid gold leaf on canvas 36’’ x 60’’
