Last week I began a new artwork that explores the design aesthetics of the Aztec civilization. There is so much beauty in the mesoamerican culture but is overshadowed by their ideals of human sacrifice. Although the thought of sacrifice rituals is horrifying it shouldn’t overshadow the true beauty the civilization offers. With this new work of art, I wanted to integrate the artist's hand as it exists without erasing the initial mark as well as Aztec patterns and colors. Overall this project has taught me more about my art style as well as a future endeavor for more art series.
