And also the cult of Our Lady of the Holy Death) or, colloquially, Santa Muerte (Holy Death), is a female deity (or folk saint depending on school of thought) in Mexican folk religion, particularly Folk Catholicism, venerated primarily in Mexico and the Southwestern United States. A personification of death, she is associated with healing, protection, and safe delivery to the afterlife by her devotees. Santa Muerte generally appears as a skeletal female figure, clad in a long robe and holding one or more objects, usually a scythe and a globe.
This piece is also hugely inspired by the photography of Paul Koudounaris well-known figure in the field of macabre art and art history. Who explores treasures and spectacular saints from the Catacombs of the world. !! Check his work out !!!
