El Santo

in #art5 years ago (edited)

Hey, folks. Time got away from me, but I'll try to start posting here again.

This piece is of El Santo! He's a bit of a personal hero for many Mexicans. Don't know about him? Check out this Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Santo

El Santo is one of the most famous and iconic of all Mexican luchadores, and has been referred to as one of "the greatest legends in Mexican sports". His wrestling career spanned nearly five decades, during which he became a folk hero and a symbol of justice for the common man through his appearances in lucha films and comic books telling fictionalized stories of El Santo fighting for justice. He starred or co-starred in at least 52 movies between 1958 and 1982.



His iconic silver mask never left his face until a week before his death, where he made the only public appearance of unmasking himself. He died out of a heart attack a week after.

The guy's a legend!
