Star Series


The Star Series paintings represent star maps of constellations that form portions of the Maya zodiac kept by De Leon’s teacher, Gina Kanbalam Miranda, a Maya daykeeper. Derived from gridded, data-rich images of the sky, each painting renders the celestial firmament, frame by frame. Each square, like a Maya unit of time, operates as a fractal part of the whole and generates a visual field alive with interconnection.
