Morales’ art depicts Oaxacan culture, landscape, and religious beliefs by using bright, warm colors to create fantastical scenes of everyday life and celebrations. In his work La Mano de Dios, Morales depicts a vibrant scene of a procession of people carrying a large hand on a platform adorned with figures at the top, and accompanied by the figures holding large, colorful globe-like lanterns and candles. The procession features La mano de dios (the hand of god), a devotional image in Catholicism, depicting Christ’s hand with figures of Jesus, Mary, and other saints on its fingers, serving as a symbol of divine power and protection.
