Xul – Maya Jaguar God of Thunder and Lightning
'Xul – Maya Jaguar God of Thunder and Lightning’
A silk painting inspired by ancient Maya mythology, depicting Xul, the powerful Jaguar God hanging from a ‘Sky Band’ hieroglyph that represents night, this piece captures the strength and mystery of the Maya worldview.
This painting is my interpretation of a partial Mayan hieroglyph, created to evoke the feeling of a temple wall painting. Using the Serti technique on silk, I’ve filled in the gaps left by weathering time and damage from vandals, blending ancient symbolism with my own artistic style. The result is a fusion of past and present, a tribute to the Maya spirit that continues to inspire me.
Originally a 20”x26” silk painting.
