In this artwork the Mexican artist captures the search and protection of the food sovereignty of his country.
E. Robledo uses two endemic elements of Mexico: the corn that is the basis of the Mexican diet and the naked-tailed armadillo, a species that is only found in the center and south of the country.
The artist also refers to the Mexican legend of Popol Vuh, which tells that all men and women come from corn.

Eduardo Robledo is a Mexican artist based in Mexico City, known for his intricate linocuts that weave together mythic imagery from Mexico's past and present. His work features calaveras, animals, and humans interacting in a shared, symbolic space, highlighting the deep cultural connections between Mexican traditions and the natural world. Drawing on both Indigenous and European influences, Robledo explores the spiritual significance of plants, animals, and the eternal cycles of life and death.
Born in Xochimilco, Robledo incorporates the cultural heritage of his hometown and personal experiences into his art, which reflects a profound respect for nature’s power. His inspiration comes from stories passed down by his grandfather, historical research, and his own encounters. Robledo first discovered printmaking as an undergraduate in Mexico City, when he was invited to participate in a printmaking workshop that supported Indigenous communities, an experience that deeply influenced his artistic practice.
