Vultures & Fireflies, Alejandro Galván


Vultures & Fireflies is a Divina Commedia of the raw existence in the Mexican city of Nezahualcóyotl, brought to life through paintings, transfer prints, sculptures, and film. In this powerful chronicle of Mexico, artist Alejandro Galván merged elements from tabloid news, comic books, heavy metal, and folklore. His work appears to restore balance in a world marked by injustice and corruption—what Galván calls a vivid dream of Mexican society. With Vultures & Fireflies, he transformed the most unique chapters of local history into part of a global story.
