“The Lacandon Maya is going to the ruins, selling ornaments, bows, and arrows. Tourists arrive to learn about the Mayan culture and explore the ruins, like those of Palenque: this is the Temple of the Cross with the Flower. Ancestors lived differently, they just didn’t wear clothes because there weren’t any at that time. Those are the houses from the ruins, but now it’s all touristy.” – 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. Learn more.
