This feline is not chosen by chance, the tiger is a strong symbol of vitality, unpredictability, strength but also of self-confidence.
It also strongly symbolizes ambition and justice.

On his head, like a cap, the face of the man with his eyes raised to the sky.
On his back, like a backpack, the bulldog's head.

The bulldog, with its massive, muscular, stocky body as well as a powerful jaw evokes strength. His strength, his tenacity, his willingness to fight stronger animals.

This sculpture certainly found its inspiration in England, or Aaron Hinojosa, the first country where he stayed after leaving Mexico.
Victorian caricaturists from the end of the 18th century also began to accompany the figure of Britannia with a lion and a bulldog.

Source of meditation and smile, delirious sculptor, these creations combine a real technical virtuosity with an omnipresent oneirism.

A committed artist, each sculpture, each painting, each drawing, each line is studied with the aestheticism of play, magic and intelligence.
