Efrén has a few murals and sculptures on streets in Ajijic.
The idea for this wall of terracotta skulls, seen here illuminated by hundreds of candles on the Day of the Dead, was planned and executed by Efrén Gonzalez. Each skull remembers a deceased town member, whose name is engraved on the base. The wall is across from church San Andrés on Marcos Castellanos street.
