Chonita chose the word "Kotz'ij" which means "flower" in Tz'utujil. She told me that flowers are hugely important in Tz'utujil culture and they are very often present in the patterns on women's clothing. These colourful dresses are woven in the village itself. Also Chonita wanted me to paint a word in the Tz'utujil language. It is one of the languages of the Mayan people, and she wishes for the future generations to carry on speaking the language even though Spanish is the language used at school, at work, in newspapers and to communicate with other people groups of Guatemala. Thank you to Thelma, Diego and Reina for the warm welcome, thank you to Tchan for the help painting ! And thank you to Chonita for making me paint a word in a native American language! . #maya #mayanculture #ShareTheWordProject #sebtoussaint #Guatemala #arteurbano #streetart #mural #urbanart #muralart #centralAmerica #painting #pintura #Tzutujil #nativeAmerica #flowers #art #contemporaryart

Painting in Tz'utujil territory in Guatemala. The Tz'utujil are one of the 21 Mayan ethnic groups of Guatemala. They live in a volcanic region on the South and Eastern shores of Lake Atitlán. I'm making the most of my stay with a local family to learn about their culture and paint my first ever word in a native American language. . #Maya #Guatemala #lakeAtitlan #lagoatitlan #ShareTheWordProject #sebtoussaint #mural #arteurbano #centralAmerica #pintura #streetart #mountains #Tzutujil

I want to thank the people who've been buying my art through Instagram and who are enabling me to fund my projects around the world in low income communities. I work independently with no sponsors. So whatever I do in slums and refugee camps is thanks to the people following, supporting and buying my art. Thank you! 🙏 RÊVE (=DREAM) . Acryilic on a 120x120 cm canvas.
