mesoaxacan ruins are the hot button archeological ticket image done in exploratory expressive surrealism
A dynamic and abstract painting depicts an ancient Mesoamerican-style pyramid in a state of disintegration. The pyramid, mostly golden and weathered, features ornate carvings and a prominent staircase leading to a structure at its apex. Sections of the pyramid are red, contrasting with the gold and suggesting exposed interior or artistic emphasis. Large chunks of the pyramid are breaking off and floating in the surrounding dark and deep blue space, which is permeated by geometric shapes, including triangles and rectangular fragments. Some of these debris pieces show exposed red brick-like material.
In the upper right, a stylized cloud formation, or perhaps smoke, with light shining through it, illuminates further floating debris. Below this, a large, dark geometric shape, possibly a pyramid or tetrahedron, floats with a reddish face. Interspersed throughout the scene are small, individual rocks and debris, adding to the sense of chaotic destruction and disarray.
The foreground and mid-ground are covered in rubble and broken pieces of the pyramid. A particularly detailed carved face or mask with large eyes and a prominent mouth is visible on a lower section of the pyramid. Various geometric forms, including a pyramid in the lower left foreground casting a shadow, and a more complex, multi-faceted geometric object in the lower right
