Muertos
“Muertos” is in Houston’s Second Ward or “El Segundo.” Much like the other two murals within walking distance and by the same artist, Angel Quesada, (also known as “ARTKUNGFU) the Muertos mural pays homage to the actual place in which it was created, in this instance a funeral home. The traditional arbol de vida (or tree of life) originally made with clay, is a well-known Mexican genre. This theme of “genesis” is found in rural pueblos throughout Mexico, especially in the Oaxacan region, In this mural, Quesada takes the Dia de los Muertos theme and gives it a twist. Example of the interesting street art in the 2nd Ward.
