EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and captivating photo print, we are transported to the heart of Mexico's Los Pintados carnival in the San Mateo Ozolco community. The image captures a young participant who has fully embraced the spirit of this 62-year-old tradition. Covered from head to toe in intricate body paint, he kneels before us, his masked face exuding an air of mischievousness. Los Pintados is not just a celebration; it is an interactive experience that bridges past and present. As part of the festivities, these painted individuals playfully "threaten" locals and tourists alike with their brushes unless they offer up a coin as tribute. It is through this exchange that they create living works of art on willing participants' bodies. The colors adorning our subject's skin tell stories untold, representing ancient customs and cultural heritage passed down through generations. Each brushstroke speaks volumes about Mexico's rich history and artistic prowess. This photograph by Alfredo Estrella perfectly encapsulates the energy and vibrancy that permeate throughout Los Pintados carnival.
