DESCRIPTION

This image depicts the holy bird of the Aztec – Quetzal. It was highly revered by these Mezoamerican people as a vessel of the divine. While working on this picture I was imagining these little colourful birds resisting the external pressures during the decline of the Aztec civilization. I envisioned them trying to withstand the oppressive influence of the changing times, to defend the spirit and the traditions of the civilization doomed to disappear forever.
