Toledo continues to explore in this piece the world he has created in his Rituals Series. A world of magic and giants. This Saint is one of the giants that are invoked by the Yellow Priestesses that live in the Blue Desert.
Toledo explains the complexity of the human being through the symbolism of his pieces. He rescues symbols from different Eastern and Western cultures that he brings from his travels around the world; creating a unique and original imagery.
Invocation rituals, deserts, tribal fights and a lot of magic is what we can find in this new series. A work set in the Desert of the Blue Men, where the Yellow Priestesses of each region invoke Titans (Saints).
These giants are used for fighting, for the construction of great walls and towers. Complex beings as are all humans.
