La Serpiente Heyokah y Los Dioses

La Serpiente Heyokah y Los Dioses is an original painting from Alexa Maithé's 2020 collection. Intoxicating and seductive, the work emerged from Alexa's explorations of shamanism, altered states of consciousness, and the symbolism of the sacred clown.

The Heyoka, associated with Lakota and Dakota traditions, is a sacred clown and disruptor—an archetype of inversion and contradiction that challenges seriousness, expectations, and fixed ways of seeing.

In this painting, the Heyoka manifests as a serpent: seductive, hypnotic, and impossible to ignore. The serpent arrives to entangle the gods, drawing them into a spell of enchantment and bliss and inviting them to surrender their seriousness.

Through seduction, disruption, and play, La Serpiente Heyokah y Los Dioses explores the moment when control dissolves and even the most powerful beings are reminded to surrender, enjoy, and be carried away by the mysterious energy of existence.
