Chibchacum Bearing the EarthLuis Alberto Acuña
In this mural from the 1950s, Acuña portrays Chibchacum, the Muisca deity of water and fire. Once a guardian of humanity, he provoked divine wrath by causing a flood. As punishment, Bochica condemned him to carry the earth eternally—a dramatic allegory of cosmic order, remorse, and balance between destruction and restoration.
