Artist, Mexican, born 1950

The image shows a man from the waist up, with his head thrown back in a dynamic pose. He seems to be in motion, possibly performing, given the dramatic head tilt and flowing fabric around his head. The man is wearing a light-colored short-sleeve shirt with a henley neckline. His face is partially covered by a mask over his eyes and nose. His dark, slightly long hair is visible under the mask and fabric. In the background, there are blurred onlookers, some clapping, dressed casually, indicating an outdoor event.
