RAT WITH WINGS

A natural counterpart to The Rat Emperor, this painting acts as both a guardian and a celestial guide within this new collection of Ancient Deities.

Inspired by the fierce elegance of ancient predatory birds and the deep, ancestral roots of Latino folklore, this work explores the concept of duality—possessing the clever resilience of the rat and the soaring power of a bird of prey.

The gold tones are applied with intentional precision, echoing the weight and permanence of ancient Aztec glyphs. In this work, Rat with Wings honors the magic found in transformation and the strength required to face the unknown.
