El Zapato, a masterpiece painstakingly crafted over the course of two years, delves deeply into the profound themes that resonate with every individual's journey through life.

In a stroke of symbolic brilliance, the artwork features a royal flush, an almost unbeatable poker hand, poised precariously on the ledge. This arrangement poignantly mirrors the cards we are dealt merely by virtue of existence, underscoring the fragility of life itself. The quilt and the boat, flowing gracefully off the canvas, serve as potent metaphors for the relentless passage of time. Their unmoored presence reminds us that time marches onward, indifferent to our desires and aspirations. The blindfolded boat drivers represent the enigmatic nature of time, shrouded in mystery, with no name to its essence, embodying the profound questions surrounding its workings.

The tank brimming with musical notes symbolizes the spiritual battle inherent in life. These notes can harmonize or clash, echoing the dichotomy of experiences in our journey.

A headless figure gracefully traverses the untied shoelace, symbolizing our continuous formation through our life's journey. This image serves as a poignant reminder that we cannot rush the process nor consider ourselves superior to others, as we are all navigating the same path. The bell tower emerging from a fragile box serves as a direct critique of the Vatican and the various powers that have exploited the name of God for malevolent purposes on Earth.

The bar scene within the artwork poignantly portrays the world's intoxication, where lust resides in close proximity to the blind, who inadvertently contribute to violence with their tools. In stark contrast, the presence of a rhino beetle within this scene draws attention to its remarkable strength, despite its small size, representing the unparalleled resilience that exists in the natural world. The repeated depiction of a man in three distinct scenes underscores the intricate complexity of the human ego.

This is but a brief exploration of the profound elements contained within El Zapato. Additionally, with the purchase, one can enjoy the mesmerizing airdrop of the animated illustration, which can be displayed in a perpetual loop, allowing the viewer to delve even deeper into the layers of meaning and symbolism encapsulated within this masterpiece.
