The Altar de Muertos, designed by master artisan Wido Ramírez, is a work filled with symbolism and vibrant color. It represents a bridge between Mexican and Spanish traditions, blending Día de Muertos with All Saints’ Day. The altar, decorated with characteristic elements of Mexican cartonería, offers a visual experience that evokes the cultural richness of Mexico, inviting reflection on memory, legacy, and the universality of these traditions.
Cartonería, an ancestral technique that breathes life into handcrafted figures, becomes the perfect medium to honor loved ones who are no longer with us. With its vibrant colors, offerings, and symbolic figures, the altar connects us to the beauty of Mexican tradition and the vision of death as a new beginning, offering a unique interpretation of this festive season.
