...from Mexico with love

The Catrina gives you an impression of a very important part of Mexican culture, death is omnipresent and, consequently, so is life. These extraordinary pieces of art represent elegance, beauty, and above all, transcendence.

The Catrina acts both as a critical approach to the importance given to material things, and the acceptance of death as an inevitable part of life.

The first images of the Catrina emerged from the lower classes as a caricature of the higher classes and the aristocracy in Mexican society. Wearing the finest clothing and jewellery will not change the fact that in death, we are all skeletons, regardless of social class.

Underneath we are the same. Now, the Catrinas instill a force of life in the spectator: live life humbly, yet know that there is no time to waste.
