The Ibero-American visual universe unveils the profound sacredness of deities and priests, pivots of ancestral cosmologies. From the Pre-Hispanic period to the Colonial era, these figures embodied divine power and ritual mediation in Mesoamerica and the Andes. Their representation captures the persistence of cults and the complex tapestry of syncretism, where indigenous sacredness dialogues with Christian imagery. The collection explores the survival of the numinous and the transformation of its custodians through the centuries.
