Aztec Deities Series
by Roland Salazar Rose

From the author…

Why did I do the Aztec Deities Series when obviously I could never present a true appreciation of the majesty of this time in history? I didn’t research the mythology on the God Tonatiuh, which translates as “He Who Makes the Day” and use this as a basis for the painting. I let my imagination take hold and this guided me to represent the gods.

Clearly this work represents a “gringo” contemporary artist’s understanding and view of a period in history when gods & goddesses abounded and when a vast military and civil society was destroyed for ‘conquest: for gold’ and in the name of church and state.

As for me, I did not seek out the gods and goddess; they came to me!
