Oscar de las Flores

Four Works: i) Natividad Salvatrucha; ii) The Fathers of Commerce and Industry, and their Papi (study); iii) Les Waltz des Narcos (study); iv) After You Monsieur! (The locker room of Grand Seigneurs) (study)

Four densely rendered ink drawings on paper by Oscar de las Flores interweave Catholic iconography, corporate mythology, and cartel culture into a darkly satirical visual narrative. The works oscillate between devotional imagery and profane power structures, implicating narco capitalism, patriarchal lineage, and colonial commerce within a single sardonic breath. De las Flores deploys meticulous linework with theatrical, almost baroque intensity, evoking both the reverence of religious illustration and the grotesque theater of masculine authority.
