Raymundo Lopez

El Ritual De La Milpa - 2024

Raymundo Lopez (Ray Lopez) is a young visual artist and seasonal agricultural worker in Florida.  He studied visual arts at the University of Sciences and Arts of Chiapas (UNICACH),  where he graduated in 2017. Both he and his family have actively contributed to the social transformation of Indigenous communities.

In his artistic work, elements referring to his own personal life and the life of his community are mixed with new intercultural interpretations that speak of a Mayan post-modernity. With his works, Ray gives testimony of a young idealistic creator who includes in his practice a record of the most important events of his town from Mexico and even the world. His previous works include “Los Juegos de la Vida” (The Games of Life), exhibition “Destino y Suerte” (Destiny and Luck) (2017).

Raymundo is excited to share his most recent work, “El Ritual de la Milpa” (The Ritual of the Field) where the woman is presented as an authority figure at home, while the man of the household is away working abroad; in this case, migrating to another country for a better life and economic sustainability.
