“The dog is saying, ‘Don’t disturb, I want to live, Jaguar.’ The Hach Winik bring many dogs, and the dogs also hunt jaguars. But the jaguar doesn’t want to kill the dogs because he wants to live; he doesn’t want to eat the dog. He wants to eat deer or even a cow, but not a dog. They go to the cornfield, have several dogs, the dogs bark, the jaguar climbs the tree, but grabs the dog because he smells the scent.” – Kayúm Ma’ax

Kayúm Ma’ax, Maya/Lacandón artist, was born in Naha, Ocosingo, Chiapas, Mexico, in 1962. A self-taught artist awarded the Chiapas Prize in 1992. He paints with an eye trained since birth in the jungle environment, and an unprecedented narrative ability informed by the worldview and local history of Nahá (a population of 250 people) that has only been “open to the world” for about 50 years.
