MEXICO CITY, April 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Colima 71 Art Community Hotel in Mexico City proudly presents its latest addition: a striking viral artwork by Chavis Marmol. Though untitled, it has been affectionately dubbed "Cabeza Olmeca Aplastando a un Tesla" by the public. This artwork graces Colima street in Roma Norte, serving as a profound reflection on societal evolution and cultural identity in the modern world. Our involvement in this masterpiece underscores our dedication to nurturing artistic endeavors. Every step, from sourcing the monumental stone to sculpting the nine-ton sculpture in Chimalhuacán, resonates with our commitment to Mexican talent and craftsmanship.

Following nine months of production, the artwork, complemented by a donated Tesla, now stands proudly next to the hotel. Beyond its visual impact, Marmol's artwork sparks vital conversations about heritage and contemporary existence, including the arrival of Elon Musk's Tesla plant in Monterrey. As a focal point for discourse, we encourage exploration of its symbolism and engagement in meaningful dialogue about tradition and modernity.
