Like I’ve mentioned before, Day of the Dead is a holiday and
traditions that inspires artists in many ways, it might be the folklore
following this tradition, the colors, shapes, garments or the deeper meaning
behind this holiday.
Just like Jena Hoschek, Sylvia Ji is an artist inspired by
Day of the Dead. This artist shows us beauty and decay, delicacy and passion in
each of her pieces while depicting women in astonishingly detailed garments
with remarkably cultural themes.
Since 2007 Sylvia Ji has been using Day of the Dead as an
inspiration for her work and it doesn’t seem like she wills top any time soon.
She utilizes traditional garments from different historical periods and
socio-economical classes of Mexico to turn her work in to a variety of the Mexican
culture and its traditions, which are depicted in every single one of her
paintings.
