The luchador’s face
—serious, daring, trained, and full of mystery—
is captured to perfection.
With just a few strokes and a pared-down color palette,
the artist gives us a living, breathing image
of Mexican lucha libre.
It’s a tradition that doesn’t age—
it gets stronger and continues to inspire,
even becoming the soul of a beloved cartoon show.
This orange-and-gold character
looks ready to yell “¡Mucha Lucha!”
and “The show must go on,”
no matter how many blows these warriors take
throughout their careers.
They put their bodies—and their souls—on the line
to dazzle and entertain.
