Description
One of the memories of the festivals in the city where my parents live. The vaca loca is a figure present in popular festivals that is full of tradition, color and fireworks. As night falls, the vaca loca fireworks are lit in the central plaza and one person begins to carry the vaca loca around the people as the traditional band begins to play. Normally, the festivas where this figure appears correspond to religious celebrations. In this painting, the Basilica Del Voto Nacional, which is very famous for its gothic style and my place of baptism, is presented as background.
