#GetToKnow Guatemalan artist, Antonio Pichillá Quiacaín. 🟨 🟥 🔳 Pichillá Quiacaín’s artwork draws on the weaving and abstract patterns of his Maya Tz’utujil family history. Combining western interpretations of abstraction and the way material can connect us with the past, we are led to ask ourselves, what do we see and what do we understand before us? The black, white, red and yellow in the weavings is symbolic of the four colours of corn grown in Guatemala and central to Maya culture. Traditional processes and textiles share a window into the past, with Pichillá Quiacaín interested in the ancestral knowledge of Indigenous peoples and continuity in the face of struggle.
