The mystery, power and exotic beauty of Pre-Columbian art the art of Mexico and South America in the time prior to the arrival of European colonizers in the 16th century holds a particular fascination for lovers of art history in the Americas. For over twenty years, this award-winning Hispanic artist has been exploring and experimenting with the remarkable treasury of vibrant colors strong reds, bright blues used in the creation of the fantastic designs, symbols and abstractions found on temple walls, precious objects and ceremonial clothing worn by the Mayans, Incas, Aztec, and Zapotec. With Mystic, he has connected imagery from those lost cultures to his own heritage, in his own time.
