The artist

Sego y Obval is a self-taught Mexican artist who lived in Oaxaca for a few years and began drawing animals he discovered there. From then on, he found nature, animals and vegetation to be his main sources of inspiration.

The mural

The mural resembles a fish tank where three fishes swim in different directions. A first interpretation is concerning free will. However, one of those fishes is a gar, a very common species in the Mexican Southeast and particularly in the state of Tabasco.
