La Calavera Catrina

La Calavera Catrina is an iconic image created by Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada, depicting a elegant skeleton wearing a fancy hat. It symbolizes the Mexican tradition of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), emphasizing that death is a natural part of life and should be faced with acceptance and humor. The Catrina serves as a reminder to honor and remember loved ones who have passed away, celebrating their lives with vibrant festivities rather than mourning. Its distinctive design has become a symbol of Mexican culture and the artistic expression surrounding mortality.
