Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

In "Omen" by Raymundo López, the painting features a rich palette of earthy tones and vibrant yellows, with a child seated in a wooden crate surrounded by marigold-like flowers. An owl perches beside the child, against a background where surreal clock imagery fades into abstraction. The style is a crossover of realism and surrealism, capturing the interplay of time and innocence. López's work reflects themes of cultural heritage and contemporary challenges, rooted in his experience as a migrant fieldworker and his exploration of Maya identity and resilience. ...

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.
