Nencatacoa, God of DreamsLuis Alberto Acuña

Nencatacoa (painted in 1960–70s), half-man and half-fox, is the Muisca god of dreams, revelry, and drunkenness. He holds a jug of chicha, a fermented maize drink central to Andean rituals. Associated with dance, music, and community work, Nencatacoa was honored during construction and feasts, symbolizing sacred joy and collective celebration.
