In January 2019, Foundation «Art of the Nations» had lanced an international street art competition for the Latin American artists. The competition had been a part of a big project dedicated to the Native American arts and cultures. During 3 weeks we received more than 70 sketches from 10 Latin American countries.
Farid Rueda, a Mexican artist with Aztec roots, has won this competition. He arrived in Russia to create his artwork at the exhibition space in Moscow.
His work represents an Eagle Warrior who died on the battlefield. Nevertheless, a warrior’s way was not finished and he transformed into a jaguar, a symbol which refers to the another elite Aztec military unit. A plot of the artwork is considered as a classic plot of Aztec art and art of Teotihuacan. This beautiful artwork in modern style was created in «Red October» gallery surrounded by the artefacts made by Farid’s ancestors some thousands years ago.
