Mas Sabe el Diablo, shortened from the saying “Más sabe el diablo por viejo que por diablo,” meaning “the devil knows more because he is old than because he is the devil." The sculpture depicts a red devil standing on a resin pedestal, intimidatingly. The figure represents our carnal existence, a life focused on earthly desires rather than spiritual or moral pursuits.
