Corn dream
The artist's face is here "melted" in
the center of a richly ornamented golden mask. It is a soothing face that seems
immersed in deep meditation. This solar mask radiates on multicolored ears of
corn coveted by a set of colorful birds competing for beauty. But what are
these birds waiting for to feed on the ears within reach? A sign, an
authorization of the mask to which they would be subjected and which, on
waking, would put an end to the growth of corn? This painting evokes a Mayan
version of the garden of the Hesperides where the ears replace the golden
apples and where the birds are so many deities, only allowed to taste the
grains offering fertility and immortality.
