Fun fact: in all my artwork, i represent blood with the color magenta aka mexican pink as a tribute and my way to say that "hey!, i'm from mexico"
This is Mexican pink (Rosa Mexicano).
The color became associated with Mexico after designer Ramón Valdiosera noticed the same vivid magenta appearing in traditional textiles and folk art.
Today it’s one of the most iconic colors linked to Mexico. 🇲🇽

The monarch butterflies have arrived for the season—a good reminder of the enduring and symbiotic relationship between the US and Mexico. During my tenure as US Ambassador there, I was blessed to visit the forests where the ancestors of this butterfly wintered. As @POTUS @realDonaldTrump and Mexican President @Claudiashein have recognized, both our countries prosper when we cooperate in a spirit of mutual respect on such critical issues as security, migration, and trade. We mustn’t allow the occasional flareup of political drama to distract us from this fundamental point. 🇺🇸🤝🇲🇽

If we’re talking about “preservation” in the strict sense, Mexico has preserved far more Hispanic architecture than the US, if only for the fact of quantity.
The house on the left isn’t “preserved” Hispanic architecture but rather Spanish Colonial Revival architecture from the late 19th and early 20th century. It’s the faux pastiche of California post card hotel and resorts for wealthy northeasterners.
Beautiful, yes. But hardly historic in any real sense and quite soulless when compared to the viceregal core of any Mexican town from Zacatecas to Campeche.
The United States did a much better job preserving Hispanic architecture (left) than Mexico (right). It's very common to see Spanish-style homes with white exterior walls and tile roofs in the Southwest. Mexico's architecture only has box shapes and lacks historical character.
