Los Tezcaltipocas 1969

"Los Tezcaltipocas" is an oil painting by Mexican artist Jorge González Camarena, known for his Surrealist works, and was created in 1969. The artwork depicts a chaotic scene with multiple figures engaged in a violent struggle, the use of stark colors and abstract forms in the composition creates a sense of disorientation and unease. Camarena's work often explores themes of mythology and the human condition, and this piece is no exception. The title refers to Tezcatlipoca, an Aztec deity associated with the night sky, magic, and death. The painting's dark and unsettling imagery evokes a sense of cosmic struggle and the fragility of life.
