"Camino de Coamitl (Road to Coamitl)" exemplifies Bracho's deep connection to indigenous Mexican culture and his technical mastery of printmaking. The work depicts the Huichol region in the state of Nayarit. The piece reflects Bracho's commitment to documenting and celebrating Mexico's indigenous communities, particularly the Huichol people, whose sacred pilgrimage routes and spiritual connection to the land are central to their cultural identity.

Ángel Bracho (1911-2005) was one of Mexico's most significant printmakers and social artists, known as the "artist of the people." Born into poverty in Mexico City, Bracho attended only four years of primary school before working various jobs including bus driver, butcher's assistant, furniture painter, and haircutter. Despite his humble beginnings, he pursued evening art classes at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas and became an early member of the Taller de Gráfica Popular, where he quickly became known for his social and political themed works.
