She combines death with joy. She is not scary; she is a happy symbol. 4 Elegante - The word “catrina” means an elegant person. Her fancy clothes show pride and humor. The flowers represent life and beauty. 5 José Guadalupe Posada - La Catrina was created around 1910 by José Guadalupe Posada, a Mexican artist to satarize the Mexican upper class's obsession with European culture.
