Catrina con rosario

Measures: 70 x 40 cm

"Catrina con Rosario" embodies the elegance and solemnity of Mexico's Día de Muertos traditions. With intricate facial art and a vibrant floral crown, the figure becomes a symbol of remembrance and connection between the living and the departed.

Creating this piece, I was drawn to the contrast of vibrant reds against the monochrome palette, symbolizing life and death coexisting in harmony. The rosary she holds represents a spiritual connection, while her upward gaze invites reflection on the beauty of honoring memories and ancestry.

This artwork is a tribute to resilience and cultural identity. It captures the balance between mourning and celebration, inviting viewers to embrace the profound emotions that make this tradition so meaningful.
