DEITIES SERIES

“ Tezcatlipoca. ”

DEITIES / Mythological entities.

Mood / I have always believed that the entire cosmogony can be explained through mythology, but the more I research, the more I believe that many deities and mythical beings were interdimensional or extraterrestrial entities that our ancestors tried to understand as best they could.

This work is part of my series of mythological entities and beings seen from a Mexican cyberpunk aesthetic, where each figure is reconstructed with a contemporary, spiritual, and alien approach.

Tezcatlipoca, the ‘smoking mirror,’ was a Mexica god associated with darkness, destiny, war, and transformation. In my version, he appears as an androgynous being covered in feline patterns, with skin mottled like a jaguar—his sacred animal—and a sacred mask that reflects the inhuman in the divine.

Black smoke rises from his chest towards a suspended dark circle: the obsidian mirror, his most iconic symbol, but also a possible reference to a non-human technological device, a portal or interface to see beyond time.

Tezcatlipoca reminds me of figures such as Anubis in Egyptian mythology or even grey, feline entities described in encounters with aliens. It also makes me think of the Akashic records*, records of the soul that only certain consciousnesses can access.
Perhaps the mirror was not just obsidian, but a primitive way of representing advanced technology.
For what else is a deity who can see the future, read the human heart and unfold into multiple realities, if not a being from another plane?
