Carlos Cerqueda

Warrior in Flight

$125.00

Merging myth and identity, Warrior in Flight by Carlos Cerqueda is a commanding ink and watercolor composition that captures the stoic profile of a Mayan eagle warrior. With bold linework and textured color washes, the piece fuses man and bird into a single, symbolic entity — the beak of an eagle seamlessly becomes the warrior’s headdress, while layered feathers and turquoise plumage flow into his shoulder cloak.
The neutral-toned background adds contrast, drawing focus to the sharp features and expressive eye of both man and beast. The synergy of forms gives the work a timeless energy, speaking to themes of vision, resilience, and ancestral strength.
