Topic: Stonemasons of Teotihuacán
Description: The architecture of the city surpasses all others in Mesoamerica. The richness of its spaces and urban engineering can be appreciated from the top, where stonemasons shape the ornaments that will adorn the buildings dedicated to the current pantheon. Two hundred years before Christ, it was built by the Toltecs, according to the Florentine Codex. The passage suggests a colony in ecological balance allowing its inhabitants to build next to the San Juan river. There were up to one hundred thousand inhabitants in an area of two thousand square hectares. Today, it is a city surrounded by urban area, with a museum and buildings adorned with sculptures and fresco murals.
Daniel Camacho is an artist born in October 1982 of Mexican origin. From a very young age he began his passion for painting as a means of expression and personal evolution. Daniel studied at the Academia de San Carlos de la CDMX, in the workshop of the master muralist Alfredo Nieto, and later studied in Bellas Artes [Fine Arts] de cd Nezahualcóyotl.
Inspired by the mystical and magical knowledge of the initiatory cultures, he focused his attention mainly on the past and present world of the “Anahuac” Valley of Mexico. It was central to several pre-Columbian civilizations, including Teotihuacan, the Toltec and Aztec, and became a well known site that epitomized the scene of early Classic Mesoamerican cultural development as well.
His work has become a tool to rescue, disseminate and resignify the indigenous identity and pre-Hispanic worldview. With this purpose, he has produced works for Fundacio?n Cultural Armella Spitalier (FCAS) representing different archaeological zones, capturing and embodying the teachings of the ancient Mexicans.
