Mayan art gave almost free reign to the artist, who was not required to produce a work that fit any particular rules or guidelines. Today it inspires modern Mexican folk art. Another legend and source of inspiration for Mexican folk art is Frida Kahlo who wrote in her diary a few days before her death: "I hope the exit is joyful, and I hope never to come back." She was returned by contemporary folk artists who celebrate her work and life in their art.

Mexican decor is a world of fantasy, imagination, humor and color. It is full of symbols, meanings and connotations. It is these symbols, meanings and connotations that tell the story of each piece of decor, and are a precious legacy worthy of preservation because they remain so unmistakably Native American in a larger world that becomes more and more uniform with each passing day.
