This series of posters integrates the style of Art Nouveau with aspects of Mexican culture, art and customs.

This poster combines the use of flowers and skulls used in many Day of The Dead ceremonies.



Here the circular design found in many Art Nouveau posters is used as the main compositional element for this popular Mexican board game.



This poster is designed to resemble not only an Art Nouveau poster but also the classic flyer advertising the Lucha Libre wrestling matches.



The figure of the Mariachi is displayed prominently, because the costume and decoration have become iconic for this genre of music.



Female soldiers were vital for the success of the Mexican revolution. Their importance is why this figure is given an iconic treatment.



The Virgen of Guadalupe is a popular religious figure in Mexico. On this poster the religious aspect was removed and focused on the figure.



On this poster Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera are depicted in the style that most represented their own work. Frida as a self-portrait and Diego as one the indigenous figures carrying flowers.
