Mexican Folk Art: "Day of The Dead" Gallery



“The Day of The Dead” is a celebration and memorial of friends and loved ones that have passed away. What a great idea and tribute to family and friends... This tradition has roots in the Mexican culture.

I think the artists have captured the spirit of the theme with thoughtfulness and some humor. Although the images are dramatic, I appreciate the sentiment of remembering love ones...

Art Appreciation and Influences "Day of the Dead"

Art influences and art appreciation/emotions come in a variety of shapes and size. I have a special fondness for “Day of the Dead” celebrated in November.

It is said “The Day of The Dead” is a celebration and memorial of friends and loved ones that have passed away. What a great idea and tribute to family and friends!

Although I don’t work in this genre I appreciate the artists that do and their iconic paintings. You can see examples of artwork and folk art within my Etsy Treasury . . . Take a peak for some interesting artwork by fellow artists . . .
