Presentation of the Drawings by Yuri Zatarain

In Cuando Mamá Lastima by Rayo Guzmán, the words and stories find a powerful echo in the drawings of Mexican artist Yuri Zatarain. Each piece captures the raw emotion of the text—pain, resilience, and the subtle light that emerges through healing.

Zatarain’s drawings, stripped down to their most essential lines, reveal an intimate and vulnerable side of his artistic language. They are not mere illustrations, but visual testimonies that accompany the reader in the exploration of complex emotions: the wounds left by a mother’s absence, the weight of silence, and the search for reconciliation.

These works transcend the page, becoming mirrors where readers can recognize their own inner landscapes. Through gesture and stroke, Zatarain gives shape to what often cannot be spoken, transforming sorrow into beauty and fragility into strength.

In dialogue with Guzmán’s writing, these drawings embody the meeting point of literature and art—two languages converging to open paths toward awareness, catharsis, and healing.
