In the burning alleys of Mexico City, between graffiti-covered walls and makeshift shrines, sometimes emerges the image of a goddess who is not one — an unrecognized saint, worshipped in the shadows by those the world forgets or condemns. This figure is Santa Muerte, “Holy Death.” Neither angel nor demon, she is prayer and threat, balm and blade, consolation and sentence.
This striking poster, offered in A3 format (29.7 x 42 cm), is a reproduction inspired by an authentic visual seen in Mexico, in a working-class neighborhood where Santa Muerte altars bloom on street corners, often surrounded by guns, flowers, candles, and photos of the lost.
The graphic composition, carefully crafted in the spirit of an urban ex-voto, depicts Santa Muerte in a praying posture, dressed in a bright white cloak highlighted with blood red. Behind her, a halo of automatic weapons forms a heretical crown, while a bed of stylized human skulls reminds us of her role as guardian of the lost, the condemned, the forgotten. At the top, a crown of red roses evokes offerings and passion, love and violence. The whole is framed by a dark, baroque, almost metallic ornamentation, like an icon of sacred chaos.

The lower banner proudly proclaims: “Santa Muerte”, calligraphed like a sacred and rebellious signature. This powerful, unsettling image is a true object of mystical and political contemplation — a visual manifesto on the ties between folk faith, marginal justice, and systemic violence.

A poster between provocation and prayer

Santa Muerte does not judge. She welcomes. She watches over the outcasts, the lost souls, the survivors. In a world at war, she is the justice courts no longer offer, the peace begged for in the streets, the gaze that does not look away from human pain. This poster is not just an image: it is a graphic invocation, a mirror of our relationship with death, power, and faith.
