Sandra Vásquez de la Horra explores themes of mortality, femininity, and the intricacies of human existence in her work, which is frequently distinguished by its unvarnished and visceral aspect. The sharp contrast between life and death is readily noticeable in this piece. The vivid, if slightly androgynous, female figure contrasts sharply with the skeletal figure, a universal image of mortality. Perhaps referring to the transient essence of existence, the title "Adiós a la chica de fuego" (Farewell to the girl of fire) conveys a sense of loss or separation. The artist's trademark use of wax adds a layer of depth and texture, creating an overall sense of eerie beauty. Latin American mythology and folklore frequently serve as inspiration for de la Horra's art, and this piece is no exception. A general archetype or a particular cultural icon could be represented by the female figure's ambiguous facial characteristics.
