Tisquesusa

16 in x 20 in
Acrylic on canvas
In this dream-like scene, Tisquesusa, the last chief of the Muisca people,  is depicted immersed in the Lagoon of Guatavita, resilient, heroically strong and never defeated. He is becoming, with the goddess Chia as his guidance, the symbol of his culture, a symbol for generations to come reminding them to remain looking up and dignified. The serene colors used in this piece reflect the  purity of feelings of the Muiscas.
