“River Spirits” – Las Deidades del Río

Flowing with symbolism and mysticism, River Spirits (Las Deidades del Río) is a large-scale oil painting by Tomás Pineda Matus that brings to life the divine forces of nature. Created in 2019, this piece immerses viewers in a dreamlike composition of water, myth, and movement, rendered in Pineda’s signature vibrant surrealist style. The river deities appear interwoven with natural elements — fluid, powerful, and watchful — reflecting a deep cultural reverence for nature’s role in everyday life. Perfect for collectors of Mexican contemporary art, this piece brings storytelling, color, and folklore into bold visual harmony.
