“Guardianes del Agua” by Adry del Rocio in Chiapas, Mexico

Perched on the steep face of the Chicoasén Dam in Chiapas, Mexico, Adry del Rocío’s latest mural brings the structure to life with vibrant imagery and deep meaning. The mural, spanning 120 x 200 meters, depicts of a child cradling a glowing source of water surrounded by colorful parrots, honors both the natural beauty of Chiapas and the workers of the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE). These workers have maintained the dam, a vital source of clean energy, since 1974.

Adry’s mural is a symbolic celebration of life, harmony, and the rich biodiversity of the region. The parrots, native to Chiapas, soar across the mural, representing the freedom and abundance of the land, while the child symbolizes the future generations tasked with preserving this balance. In her artist statement, Adry describes the mural as a tribute to the “mystical heirs” of this legacy, those who work tirelessly to sustain Mexico’s clean energy.

Collaborating with CFE Nacional and Privativo Social Strategy, Adry’s mural not only brightens the dam but serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainability and environmental stewardship. The project was a team effort, with Adry expressing gratitude to her brother Carlos Alberto and the many others who helped bring this ambitious vision to life.

Adry del Rocío, a globally recognized street artist, has received more than 60 awards throughout her career. Her work on the Chicoasén Dam stands as a vibrant testament to the power of art to celebrate both culture and clean energy in Mexico.
