Human-crafted. AI-refined.

Raymundo López's "Pomegranates" employs vibrant yet somber tones, juxtaposing a crying child with scattered fruit and an ominous sky.

López utilizes realism to critique modern disillusionment while evoking the resilience of Tsotsil culture. The painting's unsettling imagery serves as a poignant commentary on neocolonial impacts in contemporary settings, blending personal and collective narratives with a backdrop of survival and renewal. ...

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.
