In "Guardian of the Skies and the Underworld," the artist Erika Alfiero transports us to a magical and mysterious world where Mayan tradition and creativity intertwine in a breathtaking manner. This realistic alebrije embodies the essence of two powerful mythological beings: the jaguar and the eagle.
For the Mayans, the jaguar is the guardian of the underworld, a mystical being that transcends reality and connects with the beyond. Its majestic and enigmatic figure is depicted in all its glory in this creation, with a monochromatic painted fur and eyes that seem to peer into the depths of the soul.
On the other hand, the eagle is a spiritual totem associated with the gods of power and celestial messengers. Its outstretched wings appear ready to soar into the heavens, carrying secrets and desires. The intricate details painted on the feathers represent the mayan glyphs of the 13 moons of the eagle.
The contrast between the eagle's energy and the mysterious presence of the jaguar create a mesmerizing fusion.
The combination of these two magical beings into a single figure represents the duality of life and death, the earthly and the celestial, power and spirituality. It serves as a reminder that, for the Mayans, time is art, and in this work, time stands still, allowing the viewer to contemplate the beauty and depth of its significance.
Guardian of the Skies and the Underworld" is a piece that transcends the canvas, inviting us to explore the mystery of Mayan Culture and the magic of art, It is a tribute to the rich spiritual heritage of the Mayans and a celebration of human creativity.
This piece is parte of the new  collection “Sun and Moon”, inspired by the ancient wisdom of the Mayan culture as recorded in their Tzolkin calendar."
