This sculpture represents Tamatsi Kauyumarie -the blue deer- impregnated with the symbology that represents him in the Wixárika worldview -peyotes, corn, eagle-, this messenger between the deities and the marakate is more than just an icon for the families that preserve the habit.Sculpture commissioned by the visual artist Fernando Motilla to the Marakame Art sculpture workshop, born from the idea of a taxidermy mold enriched with horns, ears, eyes, to be later lined instead of cabbage with the skin of a real deer, with a a blanket of Czechoslovakian crystals from months of work pressed in active meditation by the visionary artist Luis de la Crúz from the Wixárika community of Tatéi-kie.*This piece travels in a professional packaging and ready to hang on the wall.

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 Wixarika (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 "tuutu" (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.
