Abstract
Understanding health as a condition of biopsychosocial wellbeing, it is natural to conclude why science and art are two essential elements for our Institute. In the IMSS Medical Journal we exhibit pieces of art wich are part of our patrimony, or are authorship of artists keen or related to our Institute. The Chac-Mool Women is a piece of art created by the renowed painter Guillermo Ceniceros, in which he resignifies the image of this traditional Mexican god, who played the role of messenger between humans and gods. The originality of this piece relies in the female depiction of the messenger, who takes care of the hearts of sacrificed men. Ceniceros displays the female Chac-Mool as a representation of a love connection between people and gods. The Chac-Mool women remind us that art and science are a distinctive feature of our species and, therefore, they must be faithful representations of life, including the diverse and complex manifestations of Mexican culture.
