Quetzalcoatl Cosmic

This original acrylic on canvas board painting, titled 'Quetzalcoatl Cosmic', features a vibrant and complex Neo-Expressionist or Surrealist interpretation of Mesoamerican mythology. The composition is densely packed with symbolic imagery, including a central skeletal figure with a sunburst-like shield, an elongated feathered serpent (Quetzalcoatl), and various masks or deity faces rendered in a high-contrast palette of red, yellow, blue, and white against a dark background. The application of paint is energetic, utilizing thick impasto lines and cross-hatching to create depth and texture, particularly visible in the scales of the serpent and the geometric patterns reminiscent of Mayan or Aztec friezes. The piece is relatively small in scale, handheld, and lacks a visible frame. The construction appears to be acrylic paint on a rigid canvas panel or board. While the condition shows some slight edge wear and corner blunting typical of unframed boards, the pigments remain bright and saturated with no significant peeling or cracking visible. The style suggests a contemporary artist working within a visionary or folk-urban aesthetic, blending ancient iconography with modern street art-influenced linework. No artist's signature is immediately visible on the front, but the quality of the linework and the cohesive narrative of 'cosmic transition' indicates a skilled hand and a deliberate artistic voice.
