    Mexican Festival Day of the Dead tell us about the history and celebrations and how they remembered their deceased loved ones in a joyful way. Festive Patterns are taken from the Day of the Dead festivals as it is bright and vibrant celebrations. It is focused by their traditional colors and art. It’s the festival rich in culture and history and manifests in very bright visual ways. Festivities unfold over the days in an explosion of color and life affirming joy. Two illustrious artist Victoria Villasana and Pristine Cartera have worked on it. Victoria Villasana, she is a Textile artist and interested in cultures, human spirits, looking at how culture and memories connect to each other in a fragmented, post-digital work. The reason I inspired from her is that she is making embroidery patterns and plays around with yarn. Pristine Cartera, she is a painter, her inspiration is making Mexican paintings with rich and bold colors of Mexico. The focus behind choosing this festival is to reviving the culture of memories and commemoration which needs to keep in reminiscences and are fading to be forgotten with time. Emerging the different colors, shapes and patterns to reflect the traditions of festival. Day of the dead festival is one of my inspired festival because of the art and their cultural values, their costumes, color combinations, makeup and the most important their way to remember their deceased loved one.
