Aztec art, similar to other Mesoamerican cultures also focused on diety worship and portraying values in their society. In creating their art Aztecs also were interested in naturalism, as making something lifelike better conveyed their message through the artworks. For example, the Eagle Warrior statues are life-sized ceramic sculptures that show this sense of naturalism. The Aztecs believed these eagle warriors showed the value of youthful beauty, this can be seen in the sculpture with the Warriors young and soft features of his face.
