The Mayan goddess Ix Chel in a modern style on canvas (mixed media or as an art print)
In Mayan mythology, the moon goddess Ix Chel stands for creation and the connection to nature. Her power animal, the rabbit, stands for intuition, sensitivity and the cycle of life. Ix Chel is strongly associated with water and the flowing elements of life as well as the moon. The snake is also one of her symbols, as it stands for femininity and healing.
In this day and age, the goddess Ix Chel is certainly an inspiration that creativity can also mean healing and well-being and that everything follows its own cycle. In my painting, I have combined the traditional elements of Ix Chel with abstract, modern moments - including many transparent layers of ink and elements of spray paint.
The painting is part of my Mythology seriesin which I paint figures from ancient legends and myths in a modern setting. I do this deliberately because I want to remind you that there are superpowers in all of us and that the heroes, gods etc. are only a symbol of this. The old legends still live on - even in you! But we can interpret them in a modern way. I created the modern elements in this picture using collage elements and markings with acrylic pens.
This painting was created in several layers with spray paints, acrylic and oil paints. You have the choice of ordering the original painting (40×50 cm on canvas) or an art print (also 40×50 cm on canvas, will be printed after ordering). Of course, only the original painting has the unique light reflections and structures due to the colors used. The print may differ in color from the original.

Original painting or art print? You decide
Here you can see a direct comparison of an art print vs. the original, both on canvas. Elements made of a special material, such as textured paste or gold leaf, can of course look different and less vivid in the art print. The canvases of the art prints contain a small amount of polyester and are therefore harder than "real" art canvases. However, the other finishes are very similar to the original.
All canvases have either an enclosed metal hanger (the art prints) or a picture wire attached by me (originals) so that the pictures can easily be hung directly on a nail on the wall.
The fine art prints on paper come unframed, as it is my experience that the taste for picture frames is very individual and they should match the interior. However, if you would like to receive your fine art paper print framed, please contact me instead of booking here via the store. Then I can give you the prices for already framed pictures and order them manually according to your wishes.
