In this way, the interpretation of these colors expresses his identity and illustrates a story linked to his mystical vision. According to the Wixárika culture, this quality in their art is due to the fact that, in their worldview, colors are how the gods communicate with men.

Managing to capture these unique experiences using bright, intense and phosphorescent dyes in every detail, which are reflected in paintings, sculptures and jewelry.

Needless to say, that in the colorful creations of the imagination of a people, which illustrate their history with vibrant tones, it is possible to discover a world and soul of their creators, in each color and each design elaborated by the hands of artists.
