Raymundo López has drawn and painted since early childhood, and continues today — now a migrant fieldworker in Florida, USA, too — with a formidable realism, deconstructing Tsotsil village-life with brave nostalgia, and pointing an ironic finger at employer neocolonialisms in the present lap of opportunity-cum-disillusion. His work is an exercise and assurance of Maya survival through renewal.
