Indulge in the colorful tradition of Dia de los Muertos with Pomegranate's 2025 wall calendar, showcasing the skull paintings of gallery artists Tino Rodriguez and Virgo Paraiso.
In Mexican culture the dead remain alive in our memories. Dia de los Muertos—celebrated on November first and second each year—represents days when the veils are thin between worlds and those still on Earth can pay tribute to their ancestors and friends who have passed. When welcoming the dead back to the realm of the living, ofrendas (alters) are created and adorned with candles, flowers, offerings of food and drink, and often calaveras (skull decorations). Mexican American artists Tino Rodriguez and Virgo Paraiso offer vibrant takes on calaveras in the 12 jaw-dropping images in this calendar.

Tino Rodríguez is a Mexican-American painter. Born and raised in Guadalajara, Mexico, Rodriguez was influenced by the symbolism and themes evident in the Catholic churches of his youth. His work was also influenced by his absorption of fairy tales. His work incorporates fantastical imagery combining animal and human forms, as well as dream-like backgrounds and settings. His work has been exhibited at numerous venues in San Francisco. The exhibition Tino Rodríguez: The Darkening Garden/El Jardin al Anochecer was featured at the San Jose Museum of Art in 2003. Rodriguez studied at the Sorbonne in 1990. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the San Francisco Art Institute and his Master of Fine Arts from the University of New Mexico.
Virgo Paraiso was born in Chihuahua Mexico. He grew up between Japan, Hawaii, and San Francisco. He has studied art, and exhibited in all of these places, as well as New York, Boston, and Berlin. He has done work for The Wachowskis, Netflix series Sense 8, music video for Anthony and the Johnsons, and movies including Jupiter ascending and Matrix 4.
