Design By: Baggio Ardon
Baggio Ardon My name is Baggio Ardon, graphic designer by trade and illustrator by design. Everything I draw is reflective of my obsession with culture and heritage, with roots running deep into the hearts of Mexico and El Salvador. Few things, I've found, inspire artists more than the persistence of hate and bigotry. And with what our nation faces currently, I insist on showing the world the beauty of my countries and my people. My main sources of inspiration come from the folk art of El Salvador, the murals at Bonampak, and the illustrious work by Erté.

Artist Statement

A Maya legend in Central America tells that the hummingbird is actually the Sun in disguise, sent to earth to court his greatest love, the Moon. The myth doesn't seem to follow either the mythology of Ixchel, the moon goddess, or the Popul Vuh that describes the moon as the twin brother of the sun. This left me room to imagine the Sun and Moon as two young men, hopelessly in love, eternally chasing after one another. The hummingbird is a gift, molded by the Sun's iridescent rays, to the Moon. - Baggio Ardon
