About the Item
Acrylic, spray enamel, and embroidery on canvas are the materials used for this piece that was commissioned to the artist for Positions Artfair Berlin 2023.
The artist is originally from Cherán, a rural community where traditions and crafts are an important part of the social, economic, and cultural fabric. In his work there is a constant search to preserve them; He considers that doing so is vital since it allows us to reflect on our origins, preserve our link with the past, and value the work of those who came before us.
For a long period, he lived far from that environment, a condition that allowed him to appreciate it differently and made him aware that one of the objectives of his work was to preserve the family union. Through his artwork, he inquires about the work that is carried out in the family, as well as collective stories of sacrifice, support, suffering, and even myths and beliefs.
Conceptually, the figure of his father is fundamental in his work. Being an artisan, he left the workshop to better provide for his family. He was the little devil at the town fair for 5 years, two less than the time required (according to legend) to "fulfill" the devil. When my father married my mother, she did not want him to continue doing it, and he says that, when he did not continue, he had several visions where devils appeared, these encounters disappeared when he was able to finish his mission. Although this story is anecdotal, it has directly influenced his work; Angel is interested in inquiring about the connotations that the figure of the devil has in his culture in contrast to the European connotation, thus questioning the moral codes that have been adopted. Unlike the European devil, in the dances it is not something evil, instead, it is the representation of a very playful character.
The traditional elements of his work are part of the Purépecha identity, as a person of the people, it is important to talk about these cultural forms, and he considers that it is our responsibility to project it outward with a plastic proposal. Although he is in favor of preserving traditions, he is also very critical of certain things that should change, since he understands identity not as an entity closed in on itself, but one with possibilities of opening and enrichment, even incorporating dialogues with other cultures.
Two important moments are perceived in his work, the same that perhaps can be perceived as different; this has to do with his evolution as an artist. In the first stage, he was going through a moment of very dark depression, later, thanks to the influence of a great teacher, reflection on himself led him to remember the joy, and the colorful festivals of his town, this changed him as a person, and also as an artist. At first, the colors were darker and tended to be figurative; Later, when he got to know the work of Jean Michel Basquiat up close, he found one of his greatest references and I freed up his way of painting. He allowed himself to experiment and found a style that, although it referred to the American artist, began to look more like the aesthetics of handicrafts, masks, etc., and formed his style.
The most important thing for Pahumaba is the preservation of memory, be it of rural and indigenous peoples or urban areas, since it is memory that builds us as people and places us before the world as builders of our history.

His artworks has been exhibited individually in galleries in CDMX, Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Chile, New York and Michoacán.
