The shared vision of Ramona, Julia and María Elena de la Cruz López – three Wixaritari artists from the community of San Andrés Cohamiata – in collaboration with Arte Marakame proposes this approach to the biodiversity of the world, inviting us to look squarely at the species that They surprise with their presence.

The colors vibrate with a quiet serenity. Every inch of this body seems alive, the reconstruction is almost scientific. The support consists of a taxidermy mold – that is, a figure that was obtained from a real body with conservation interests – enriched sculpturally, and finally worked with calibrated glass beads.

With its imposing presence, the rhinoceros raises its horns in a gesture of serene repose. He looks ahead, while agricultural, celestial, and terrestrial references cover him. The deer, various birds and felines, inhabitants of the different landscapes of the Wixaritari nation. The three sisters' designs stand out because they present new perspectives on familiar figures, such as the hikuri seen in a cluster in perspective, from the side, instead of the traditional top view representation.

*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.
