Patrick Murillo’s whimsical Día de Muertos sculptures are a celebration of Chicano culture, crafted with a vibrant blend of humor, tradition, and sustainability.
He remembers one of his first toys was a skeleton puppet his mom purchased for him while on a Mexico trip. Ever since, he has felt connected to Dia de Muertos and has been creating his one-of-a-kind paintings and sculptures for decades.
