Cielito Lindo Mexican Tin Shadowbox – Día de los Muertos Folk Art
Celebrate the spirit of love—and laughter—with this bold and humorous Mexican folk art shadowbox by Cielito Lindo Estudio, titled "El Santo Madrazo." Handmade and hand-painted on pressed tin, this vibrant triptych features three scenes of skeletal lovers exploring love through fire, water, and forgetfulness.
Each vignette includes witty Spanish text with matching English translations on the reverse:
-
“Si el amor es fuego… ¡Me estoy quemando!”
“If love is fire… I am burning!” -
“Si el amor es agua… ¡Me estoy mojando!”
“If love is water… I am getting wet!” -
“Si el amor es olvido… ¿Qué te estaba diciendo?”
“If love is to forget… what was I saying?”
Miniature skeleton couples embrace against painted backdrops—flames, rain (with a lotería card: El Paraguas), and a dreamy park scene—each framed in a joyful border of colorful hearts. It’s wall-mountable, full of character, and guaranteed to spark smiles and conversation.
Verso is signed and labeled by the maker, with the original tag still affixed—true to the authenticity of hecho en México artistry.
