About the Artwork:
“This piece shows an alien making lunch, a caterpillar taco with mud sauce, while another being is asking for some of that lunch.
When we think of aliens, we often picture them planning something, conquering other planets, attacking or in other words what Hollywood told us. But I like to picture them in different situations, experiencing their lives in their own way, and just existing. So in this piece you get the sense of a normal alien day, just having lunch and interacting with other life forms, in that way you can connect and make familiar something that is not familiar.” – Charbel Abuxapqui

(Artist Bio)
Mexican surealist artist, focused on illustration and muralism.
Charbel has had several exhibitions in Mexico but also in England and USA. He has painted a large number of murals around Mexico, created ep covers and single covers for some artists, and has been invited to collaborate with different clothing brands.
Charbel has a unique kind of way to show his connection with other dimensions, through highly detailed illustrations of original characters combining grotesque and cute elements.
Charbel seeks to eliminate the extraterrestrial stigma and raises the possibility of the existence of different dimensions happening all at once, all by making the viewer connect with the moments he captures with his art.
