His work is magical, colorful , mysterious make my senses awake to nature and mythical world
why people insist on saying your work is mythical? i only see animals, penises, squares and spirals in this watercolor. why the guy in the video says you are trying to recover the zapotec traditions if you yourself say it’s only fantasy? i think they are missing an important aspect of your work. but I’m now getting that this aspect of fantasy is only interesting for artists, not spectators. and this explains why it wouldn’t make sense for you to prove them wrong, after all, people are free to see whatever they like in your work.
