About this artwork
In this painting we see in the place "aiquetenia" or at the entrance to Wirikuta where the gods chose a center of tradition where the peyotero pilgrims have built the sacred Kaliwey adorned with arrows and magical rays where the mother Bird Wind has come down from an air in a whirlpool to bring him the blessing and naming with the name of Xiriki; In this ceremonial temple, peyote pilgrims adorn each year with deer heads or bull horns with lighted candles, as well as cornfield spikes and sacred peyotes.
We also see gourds and offerings with candles as well as ears of colored corn; in that place the mother peyote and the snakes consider them as the world of the gods.
Around the temple we see the deer gods how they have been endangered to defend the said temple, the peyotero mara'akames have spent night after night to ask for knowledge and wisdom, offering them offerings with deer blood and bull blood for well-being and to receive the spirit new from the gods We also see the eagle goddess who is the messenger or spokesperson to the gods of the four cardinal points such as Tatey axamara, Wirikuta, Xapa wiyeme, Auxa manaka.
About us
Marakame is a brand that proposes a creative way to merge art, design and culture. We believe that we can converge this trilogy of concepts through our project of Diffusion and Commercialization of unique pieces of Art Wixàrika (huichol). Our pieces are made by Huichol families from different rural communities that mainly live in the Sierra Madre Occidental of the state of Jalisco.
The central idea of this project is also to disseminate, commercialize and revalue pieces of Huichol art, traditionally considered as "crafts"; it is to show that the realization of a piece and its mythical symbology are intimately intricate with a social and cultural dimension little known to the world.
Our artwork
In Marakame we have works that are made using two basic techniques: beading and yarn painting. Which are carried out in an exhaustive period that goes from a week to months of work.
In Marakame we specialize in the projection and sale of collectibles and we take care together with the huichol artists of the impeccable manufacture of each piece. The elements of the worldview of these artists are reflected in it, making them unique and unrepeatable artworks, as each artist has a particular way of expressing their feelings, colors, shapes and visions. From the elements that have been shaping for centuries for their spiritual importance, such as the blue deer, corn, the eagle and the "tuutÏ" (peyote) rose, all descendants of the Sun God "Tau"; to the emerging symbology of contemporary Huichol artists with a conceptual meaning, which has emerged from the Huichol culture and its magical traditions.
