The artist donated the piece Del cielo cayó un mariachi (From the Sky Fell a Mariachi) to the museum, a depiction of a bar where a mariachi freakishly appears, alongside the figure of a Spanishstyle ballerina. A man sitting down smokes in front of a bottle of tequila. The weave of the strips of the equipal, a chair popular in Jalisco, stretches out into the painting’s frame, complementing the fantasy that envelops the scene.
