Catrinas

My Catrinas are born from a deep respect for Mexican tradition. To me, they are not just iconic figures — they are timeless spirits that return to remind us of who we are, where we come from, and the stories we carry.

When I begin a Catrina, I approach her as if she were a soul waiting to be dressed. I shape her face slowly, stroke by stroke, until she reveals that perfect balance of elegance, strength, and mystery. Then come the details: the flowers, the textures, the carved patterns, and the colors that celebrate life even as they honor death.

Each Catrina has her own personality. Some are graceful and joyful, others more solemn, and some carry that playful spark that feels almost alive. I am simply the bridge — the one who gives them shape, identity, and presence so they can walk among us.

When someone looks at one of my Catrinas and feels something — nostalgia, joy, a family memory, or simply a beautiful impact — I know she has fulfilled her purpose. In that moment, she stops being paper, fabric, and structure… and becomes a companion of Día de Muertos, a keeper of tradition, an ambassador of our culture here in Los Cabos.

My Catrinas are not decorations.
They are messages.
They are living memories.
They are a tribute to those who watch over us from the other side.
