Like a passage through a happy market, the Geneva restaurant El Catrin floods your retina with its avalanche of colors. The decoration consists of a constellation of various objects, selected in Mexico, which range from cut-out banners adorning the ceilings to other works by Mexican artists. Like the mirrors on which Giovanni Bautista paints amusing phrases, using the typical lettering of businesses in the country, the “rotulo”. Or, signed by Efrefroy, the large photomontages on the wall offering a tender collision between popular culture and Mexican icons.
