Title: “Catrina Evolving”

While searching on the Internet for inspiration, I came across a work by digital artist Millie Cieslik (Zyan Art – Melbourne, Australia). The boldness of its lines made me think of the great ilustrator and political cartoonist Jose Guadalupe Posada, the creator of the original “Calavera Garbanzera” wich eventually became “La Catrina”. This piece is a homage to graphic arts, old and new, and the powerful message they can convey.

This is a Mexican chocolate cake (antique recipe), covered in white chocolate fondant and hand painted with edible black gel color.
