Starting a new art challenge, but instead of 30 days due to capacity, I’m going to make it a 30 pieces back-to-back challenge.
This one is 30 days of Indigenous Art challenge originally designed to be completed for Indigenous’ Peoples Month in November.
1st Piece theme is Ceremony

Piece 2 of Indigenous Art Challenge: Sacred

Went a diff direction with this second one and honestly not sure I like it but posting cause I put a lot of work into it and it’s a learning process 😤

And also needing to limit each piece to a week tops otherwise I will never finish this challenge lol #discipline #mastoart #30pieces #latinxartist

Still working on this challenge. Recently got Clip Studio & the brushes are sooo much smoother/better overall. Tho given my current job (front of a computer 40 hrs a week), I’m thinking about switching to traditional once more. Which comes with its benefits but drawbacks too.

Still doing this 💜 Piece 3: Resilience
This is inspired by a point in (“Feelings of the Originary People” from Resolutions of the 2nd Indigenous State Congress of Michoacán).
This one representing their cosmovision to protect nature against modern-day conquest thru transnational, mining, oil, and energy companies to own natural resources, biodiversity, and genetic patrimony.
The dots in the bg are 525 dots representing the years of resistance of indigenous people. Names are indigenous towns.

Piece 4: Love

#30DaysIndigenous
Originally finished on Feb 14th:

Thinking of refugee and undocumented migrant love today. Parents and children still in detention, still separated. Trans and LGBQ migrants finding community and support on the way. And the most vulnerable, indigenous and Black migrants, at the intersections too (+trans, +disabled, ...)

The little white flowers are described as little stars raining from the sky that fell on the plant.
here I used UNAM’s dope online medicinal plants library of Indigenous groups in mex. The info is also shown both in its native language and Spanish.
