History behind the artwork
In the Mayan lands there is the possibility of coexisting with animals that in other places don’t even know.
At night, beautiful white owls can be seen flying between the houses, and during the day countless birds are distinguished among the trees.
In the mornings and afternoons the flocks of parrots pass in large groups, as well as the “Cau” or “k’aues” birds, who also wait for breadcrumbs in the squares or restaurants.
The author enjoys seeing them, and merges with their spirits by representing them in these two pieces of sculpture.
Inspired by the owls and the characteristic stone of the region; “macedonia” , Abel shapes in these sculptures the representation of the duality of spirit that the shaman priests have, linked to the animals.
