CELESTIAL CATRINAS

 The iconic figure of La Catrina has a fascinating origin. She was first introduced as the "Calavera Garbancera" in 1912 by Mexican lithographer José Guadalupe Posada. Posada illustrated only her skeletal face, distinguished by a large European hat—a satirical jab at those who adopted European styles and denied their Mexican heritage. 

The figure was later unified and named "La Calavera Catrina" by muralist Diego Rivera in 1947 in his monumental work, Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in Alameda Park. In this mural, Rivera gave Posada’s creation a full, elegant body, cementing her status as a cultural icon. Both creations reference Lady Death—or, as she is known in Spanish, “La Muerte.”

Transforming into a "Catrina" or "Catrín" is an experience worth capturing and cherishing for a lifetime. For María José, the ultimate reward is seeing clients mesmerized by their final look—so beautifully executed that they are saddened to take it off. That level of artistry and connection is at the heart of her mission: to create an unforgettable experience for every individual.
