Artist's Comments
Her name means "Flower Feather." She is the Goddess of Pleasure and Beauty. The Gardens of Xochimilco, south of Ciudad de Mexico, are named for Her.
The Aztec goddess of the earth, flowers, plants, games and dance, but mainly she is a goddess of love. She is also the patroness of artisans, prostitutes, pregnant women and birth. Originally Xochiquetzal ("Flower Feather") was associated with the moon. This goddess is the most charming of the Aztec pantheon and her retinue consists of butterflies and birds. Every eight years a feast was held in her honor where the celebrants wore animal and flowers masks. She is the twin sister of the flower prince Xochipilli and sometimes mentioned as the wife of the rain god Tlaloc Lovely goddess courtesy  Fractal, my own Comments wow, that's really cool looking

 That's a lovely image. The colors are so wonderful. It's nice to see some Aztec mythology here.
Thank you for the kind comment and the fav too!
I did the fractal, and somehow, the aztec motif just seemed right to me. It just fit |

Critiques
There's a unique style of abstract, sharpness, softness, toning and balance. A very strong focus point draws attention towards the colours blue/violet/pink/aqua (moving from bottom to top) then directly moving the attention over towards the lips which I think works very well.
You have given viewers no choice but to look at the image thoroughly in-depth, a very smart and different approach, new and indeed creative. I've given you 100% for this piece, my first 100% from all my critiques, Hope this encourages you to continue with your amazing work.
