During my daily wondering throughout hundreds of websites, artist profiles and so on, I noticed that there are quite a few contemporary artworks that clearly have a Mayan influence – intended or not. So I thought to “put it on paper”! In the following rows you will find out some interesting stuff about this fascinating culture and I will also show you a couple of great contemporary artworks that were inspired by it.

Today I’d like to present to you a young and very talented illustrator and graphic designer from Chihuahua, Mexico – Raul Urias. Raul is only 22 years old but he creates beautiful illustrations for clients and companies all around the world. His illustrations are full of life, color and creativity. I love the dripping liquid effect and the vivid colors which are present on many of Raul’s illustrations. Enough talk, check out some of his artworks below.
