A Simple Man

2017

Ink on paper

[ID: Entire artwork is drawn in pen ink. At the top from left to right--a cholo in a clown costume and makeup with slicked back hair. Tattooed teardrops near one eye; the pocket of the costume has a cross with four rays and an evil figure peering out. The background of this figure are raindrops and several lit matchsticks. Next to this cholo, at the right, is a woman with long hair and her hands extended out. At the center of her chest is a rose with rays around it. Raindrops in her background. The woman is being projected by a candle-rose at the far right. The projection between the woman and the candle-rose is artwork of people on a cracked bridge with stairs. The candle is placed on a table, enclosed with a rose at the top. The rose has thorns and spiky leaves. At the middle of the stem is a small skull. The table has two extra small skulls and an inscription on the table¨A Simple Man¨ is visible. A little further down the table is a huge skull with its mouth agape and teeth exposed. At the center from left to right--a chola with curly hair, smoke is blowing out her mouth; her tattooed right arm is sticking out. Man at the middle is a cholo with a goatee and a horseshoe mustache; slicked back hair with a headband. On the headband is artwork of a dark sinister figure in chains with a cross and four rays on its chest; a brick wall in the background. The shirt collars of the cholo has eyes with eyelashes and eyebrows; one color has three dots and the other collar has a kiss print. Slightly below of the collars, to the left, is the cholo’s right hand holding flame with a “C/S” tattoo. At the very bottom-center of the artwork is the cholo’s left hand with “Locx” tattooed to each of the fingers except the thumb where a sinister figure is painted. At the far right is a chola with dark, flowing long hair, dark lipstick with her left arm exposed with a serpent tattoo and a drawing of a knife through a heart on her upper arm area. She is holding a dark stick that controls the little demon in chains. At the bottom from left to right--a pyramid-like structure with “Loco” inscribed on one side and “Loca” on the other. A bottle that reads “evol” with a dark mask. At the center is a frowning white mask near the hair. At the far right is an indigenous head with indigenous designs and on its forehead are eyes staring out with “C/S” inscribed on the side of the band. An angel is coming out of its head. “Pedrito 2017” with a cross and four rays is signed at the bottom.]
