The artwork, titled “Mestizos de Avión y Gente,” was created by the artist Xul Solar in 1936 and falls within the landscape genre.
The artwork showcases a fantastical scene where hybrid figures, part human and part machine, fly through a surreal sky under a glowing full moon. The flying entities are mechanical, with various gears and apparatuses, resembling early aviation machines, blending seamlessly with organic human-like forms. The backdrop features ethereal clouds, hills, and a vividly colored sky, leading down to a ground where miniature figures walk and interact with their environment. A building with windows, a radiant sun, and delicate trees can also be seen, adding to the dreamlike and whimsical atmosphere of the piece. The painting blends elements of fantasy and technology, creating a unique and imaginative landscape.
