The ancient walls of ancient cities such as Antigua Guatemala or many other ancient capitals, have their own language, whose pareidolic reading has led me to represent them from their wonderful information and their ancestral symbols that I recognize in each wall of many ancient cities of America and of Europe.
Each piece of art is mixed media, such as the one that built these ancient walls, which give us pareidolic images.
This is, mixed media on watercolor paper,19 x 35 inches 2019. This wall was my perception on a colonial church wall in Antigua Guatemala, where colonial religious repression was the kind of dialogue with the aboriginal people there.

Each ancestral wall keeps the memories of the witnesses who lived in that building and relied in antiquity on these walls to talk about their diverse feelings.
Mixed media on watercolor paper, 19 x 35 inches, 2019.
In colonial times, emotional manipulation overcame the ancestral power of the aborigines, but each wall maintains the pareidolia of its history. That is why in this interpretation of the ancient walls, it is seen that someone leads another person, but it is not known who leads whom.

The unequal union between social, racial and spiritual diversity does not achieve unity but arrogance in whoever is above.
mixed media on watercolor paper, 19 x 35 inches, 2019.
Each ancient wall keeps in its memory the history of the town in which it was built, making it clear that historically it is the owner of each building who can be remembered, leaving the workers forgotten who were the real designers and builders.

Each wall keeps a pareidolic perception of the ancient inhabitant of each ancestral culture. I always find those images even nobody sees them in those walls.
