Gardens of Xochipilli by Rick Schettino

from $400.00

In Aztec mythology, Xochipilli is the patron of music, dance, and creative ecstasy. He is depicted covered in sacred plants and flowers that unlocked the creative spirit. Within Xochipilli's domain, there is no boundary; art and nature are the same thing. This diptych is an homage to that absence of distinction. Each is a musical instrument but also a garden. It reflects a realm where the vibrant scenes of nature and the sound of music become indistinguishable. It is a tribute to the "Flowery Song"—the ancient belief that true creativity is a living, blooming entity that envelopes both the instrument and the artist. Two Sizes.
