WELCOME to the official site of "Códice Tuna"
Códice Tuna is the name of the international art collective founded by Sinuhé David and Borayin Larios in 2008. Códice Tuna in Spanish means: "The Indian-fig Codex" and it draws back from our Mexican roots denoting, like the cactus fruit, the pungent and itchy but acid-sweet vision of our art.
It reads itself like a pre-hispanic codex where the word and image coexist to tell a story. Therefore we call our approach "visual literature" because often words accompany our images. We are currently exploring the use of languages other than Spanish for our project.
We are two young self-proclaimed artists and a mature artist who influenced by popular art and kitsch, as well as mysticism and surrealism decided to give form to our vision of the world through art.
Now also members of the artsprojekt and artselector

Artsprojekt INTERVIEW Jan 2011

http://www.artsprojekt.com/
Interview: Codice Tuna Location: The world

AP: Tell us about where you are from and where you are living now and how it influences your work.
CT: We’ll we are globetrotters. Sinux is currently living in Mexico City were we all grew up. Arturo Larios has retired to the beach in Puerto Escondido, a great beach town in Mexico. Borayin is currently doing his PhD in Germany. But we have travelled a lot and lived in many places such as India, Thailand, Hawaii, Switzerland and France. We take a bit of all the places we go to our hearts and to our art and the place also gives us back its character, its atmosphere, its own vibration. Our art is heavily in debt with the popular culture of these countries and Mexico and India in particular. We love the chaos and vibrant colors they exude.
