Painting a new card for my **Nahua Lotería**. This one shows Tlaloc’s vessel, pouring life-giving rain. It speaks of **abundance** and the **sacredness of water**. Each card is part of a tarot deck of ancestral symbols.

Pride Month unfolds, a time to honor the resilience and joy of queer love. My painting shows two Nahua women in El Salvador, making pupusas—a tribute to everyday love. El Salvador holds a special place in my heart. May this month celebrate love in all its forms. #PrideMonth #QueerLove #Nahua

Entrusted with a stone image of Xochipilli, the Prince of Flowers and lord of art and joy, I honor Him with regalia, copal, prayers, and dance. He guides my hands and heart with creativity. #ChicanoArt #IndigenousArt #MexicanArt #Xochipilli #Artist #Spirituality

In Huey Tozoztli, we honor the Lords of Corn. Chicomecōātl is ripened maize, sacred and alive. I painted Her as part of my Chicano/Mexica spiritual art. Download a free high-res file to print for your altar— www.deviantart.com/micorazonmex...

The corn grows, but instead of cobs, the stalks bear disks of jade—his work is precious.

Huey Tozoztli marks the start of the rainy season in Mexico. It’s when we ask the maize to grow and invite the Lords of Maize to return—to walk among us and bless us with their presence.

We are now in the veintena—or “month”—of Huey Tozoztli, when we honor the lords of maize. This image comes from next year’s Indigenous calendar, taken from my “Aztec” tarot deck. A young farmer leans upon his coa and reflects on his labor.

This painting shows a nahual—a shape-shifting figure from Indigenous Mexican tradition—transforming into a jaguar to bring rain and maize. Inspired by the ancient murals of Cacaxtla, and rooted in Chicano, Mexica, and Native identity.
