Mask painting

Meet Raúl Prieto, a visual artist and architect from Oaxaca, and learn about his history, everyday life, and inspiration.

This is a special edition of the Day of the Dead, one of the deepest and most significant traditions in Mexican culture, a celebration that honors the memory of our loved ones and fuses art, history, and folklore. As a visual artist, his goal is to offer experiences that not only allow participants to connect with this rich tradition, but also to explore their creativity and enrich their artistic sensibilities in an immersive experience.

Through these experiences, we seek to offer a space for learning and expression, where each participant can create individually or collectively. In this way, we foster an appreciation for our cultural roots. With this proposal, we seek not only to preserve but also to reinvent the Day of the Dead tradition, making each experience unforgettable and meaningful for everyone involved.

Immerse yourself in this artistic adventure, express your essence through art, and your imagination, spontaneity, and creativity through painting.
