Portrait of Guerrero Mireles

A weathered old man with a white mustache gazes out, a grasshopper perched on his head and a pink serpent coiling around his neck. The portrait depicts Guerrero Mireles, a leader of Michoacán's autodefensas who, alongside neighbors and lime farmers, fought the Caballeros Templarios cartel. Painted for the Muros en Blanco festival in San Miguel de Allende.
