A highly stylized aesthetic sense that gives such sculptures a look of ineffable "modernity" is the hallmark of the stone workers of the culture known as "Mezcala", a name taken from the river that runs through the heartland of the territory where this tradition originated. The artistic vocabulary is mainly based on a clever play of volumes and planes, often within a symmetrically composed and contained format.
