 Compared to his father, who depicted ceremonies in his traditional work, Lomawywesa sought to illustrate the feeling, motion, and spirituality embedded within these ceremonies.Particularly interested in the Tricksters and Clowns of Hopi history, Lomawywesa thought it important to express their purpose of bringing about harmony through the exposure of human folly and imperfection.In addition to drawing inspiration from his cultural background, Lomawywesa was greatly inspired by music ranging beyond traditional Hopi songs including Gregorian, Peruvian, and Celtic chants, as well as music from Beethoven, Jim Morrison, and the Doors, music which he claimed "[searched] deep within for the inner spirit."
