Morales’ art highlights Oaxacan culture, landscape, and religious beliefs by using bright, warm colors to depict fantastical scenes of daily life and celebrations. In his work La Mano de Dios, Morales depicts a lively scene of a procession, with people carrying a large hand on a platform decorated with figures at the top, accompanied by those holding large, colorful, globe-like lanterns and candles. The procession features La mano de Dios (the Hand of God), a religious image in Catholicism, depicting Christ’s hand with figures of Jesus, Mary, and other saints on its fingers, symbolizing divine power and protection.
