“Verustiana”, one of the winners of the Creative Marathon, in the category of “Emergent”. She shows us her inks technique, and the interpretation of the relationship between death and xolo dogs.
Following the tradition of the “Day of the Dead”, in which we prepare to receive our dead at home, we take a look at the work of this artist in training.
If you are sensitive and noble-hearted, you need no effort to adore these four-legged friends, and adopt them as part of your family.
The love that dogs offer to people, is the most unconditional there is.
Those of us who are fortunate enough to live with them, we see our lives nourished by the privilege of having such good company.
Our Aztec ancestors considered the Xoloitzcuintle dogs to be sacred animals.
People looked after these hairless specimens with great care, as there was a belief that if you earned their love, they would do everything to help you reach peace on your journey to death, across the Mictlán.
On this road to the Mictlán, hand in hand with “Verustiana”. our Creative Marathon took us beyond this life, and likewise, made us look at other worlds and underworlds.
