“The owner of the corn is like a woman. We cannot see it when there’s corn on the cob, but there are owners inside. Before, little children couldn’t go into the cornfield because it was known that they could disappear; they were taken inside the corn. The corn has a big heart; it’s like a person. I saw it, it comes walking. There is the owner of the corn.” – Kayúm Ma’ax

Additional information

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.
