Twelve different Maya artists illustrates the months of the Arte Maya Calendar for 2007. The calendar includes the ancient Maya glyphs for each day of the year. Buying the calendar through us helps the artists.

Pedro Rafael Gonzalez Chavajay paints the most slowly and carefully of all the Tz'utuhil Maya artists, producing no more than ten paintings a year, that is if he does not do a large painting. His paintings command the highest prices, so a print is an inexpensive alternative. These are limited edition archival iris prints printed on high quality paper, which are signed and number by the artist.

Lorenzo Gonzalez Chavajay took up painting late in life. He is the only truly naive artist among the Tz'utuhil Maya painters. He was entirely self taught, and his style was completely his own. He had only been painting for about seven years when he got sick and died. These limited edition iris reproductions, done after he died, have his typical signature embossed into them. Profit from the sale of these prints goes to help support his family. His two sons are both deaf and two of his daughters are unmarried and speak no Spanish, making it difficult for them to earn a living.

Carlos Merida, a Guatemala born artist of Quiche Maya descent, as a youth traveled to Paris where he was friends with Modigliani and other modernists. Returning to the Americas, he briefly worked with the Mexican muralists, but soon mainly abandoned representational painting in favor of cubism often with themes based on his Maya roots. He did however briefly return to representational art to produce several series of prints of Guatemalan and Mexican indigenous dress.

This section will display nineteenth century prints and engravings of ancient Maya ruins. This section will be ready some time in August.
