Dia de los Muertos Stained Glass

The art of stained glass is the technique of creating decorative stained glass windows for churches, cathedrals and important buildings. This art combines the use of coloured pieces of glass, cut and assembled, with the aim of creating images or patterns that allow light to pass through, generating luminous and dramatic effects.

In Mexico, stained glass has not only been used in religious contexts, but has also evolved in the secular sphere, decorating historic buildings, palaces and private residences. Over time, Mexican artists adapted the art of stained glass, incorporating local themes such as pre-Hispanic motifs, indigenous flora and fauna, and scenes of mestizaje and everyday life.

Today, stained glass art in Mexico remains a vibrant artistic manifestation, both in its traditional form and in more contemporary versions, where artisans and artists explore modern techniques and more complex visual narratives. This art maintains a unique connection to light, colour and Mexican culture, and is notable for its ability to transform spaces through the play of light and shadow.
