AZTEC

2020 | 74 x 94 cm

Mixed media painting by Lennart Pihl. Created using mostly acrylic paints, but some old wood paints and various unknown leftovers were used as well. Painted on furniture board. The frame is thick and sturdy.

The image depicts a cubistic character with old-school themed cybernetic helmet against a starry night. Inspired by the ancient carving in stone and the idea that what we call Aztec culture today was once a very knowledgeable group of people fascinated by astronomy.
