Another painting another story but in the same line ‘Tainos’. This piece is called Guayacayex! Guayacayes was the ‘Supreme’ of the Cacique from Havana (Cuba). He had a prominent role in the first rebellion in the region Guanima (1510). Inhabits from Guanima (Which now is Matanzas) gave him the name Guayacayex (Supreme)! A Spanish ship came to the mainland of Guanima Bay and chief Guayacayex hatched a plan for revanche against earlier trouble on the Island Quisqueya. On Quisqueya there were a lot of irregularity since Christopher Columbus came in 1492. Guayacayex had their revanche in a brutal way. Guannima’s name was changed later to Matanzas, meaning ‘Massacre’ (the wanton or savage killing of large numbers of people, as in battle). We added a making of to the pictures! Enjoy!
