"Soul of the moor I" | Available artwork

One of my latest easel works, inspired by the fragment of the chapter "Cathecism in the Mosca or Chipcha language" of the "Chibcha dictionary and grammar" that says: Have you said, we, Indians, will not go to heaven because when we die our souls must also die or go to the moor and become deer or bears?. It represents from the Muysca cosmogony the passage of a matron (wise woman of advanced years) to a life in the afterlife, where her cloaks are transformed into the leaves of the frailejón, her spirit into the Green-bearded helmetcrest and her soul joins her ancestors in a sky full of deer that float among the thick Andean mists.
