About this artwork
Herencia reflects on identity as something woven from memory, language, and the voices that accompany us through time. The human figure is composed of fragments from poets, philosophers, and traditions spanning different cultures and centuries, suggesting that who we are is inseparable from what we inherit and choose to remember.
Words by Nezahualcóyotl, Alighieri, Rilke, Nietzsche, Villaurrutia, Paz, Ovid, Hesiod, Pindar, and others converge within… a single body. Heritage is understood not as ancestry alone, but as a dialogue between cultures, languages, and generations.
Executed in red ink on paper, Herencia evokes the Nahua concept of in tlilli, in tlapalli, a metaphor for knowledge and truth transmitted through writing and painting. At its center appears the yollotl, the heart, while above the head a Nahua star sign recalls the bond between humanity and the cosmos. Rooted in the earth and surrounded by blossoms, the figure becomes a meditation on continuity and transformation.
Jorge Humberto Tapia Perez, a Mexican-German artist with a medical background, works primarily with oil on canvas and incorporates materials such as chalk, sand, metal, and textiles. His style interweaves contemporary figuration, anatomical precision, and baroque intensity, uniting controlled fragmentation, symbolic imagery, and Mesoamerican and European mythologies. His works open a space for emotional confrontation—reflecting vulnerability, transformation, and existential fragility, and inviting the viewer to engage with the full complexity of being human.
