Temple of the Masks

A vibrant tribute to ancient Mesoamerican architecture, Temple of the Masks by Carlos Cerqueda captures the grandeur and symmetry of a stepped pyramid adorned with symbolic motifs. Rendered in soft watercolor washes and crisp ink outlines, the composition depicts a richly detailed temple façade emerging from a lush green landscape. At the foot of the structure stands a carved stone figure — likely a deity or guardian — grounding the piece in ritual and reverence.
The balanced composition and neutral tones evoke both historical accuracy and artistic warmth. Housed in a rustic gray wood frame, this work feels at once timeless and contemporary, ideal for collectors of Latin American art or lovers of cultural illustration.
