Description
[edit]His oeuvre is a reference to his muse Olga Tamayo. Both figures wear a bun that his wife used to wear frequently.
The skin color demonstrates their Indian heritage. The artist created a new narrative of Mexico and the femininity. The red tree creates a contrasting balance with the weight of the two female figures.
In 2016 the piece was displayed for the "ofrenda" [altar] for the Day of the Dead of Museo Soumaya.
