“The owners live in the jungle; their home is in the caves. They do not destroy, they do not cut because they do not have sharp instruments, only stones and spears. The owners are friends with the monkeys, howler monkeys, and wild boars. They live with their friends.” – 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.
