Art is everywhere, believe it or not, every painting, every sculpture, every painting has a story and a style behind it, and Ranchito Cascabel is no exception, a place where retro and futuristic style invade the place that makes you feel like you are on another planet in another galaxy.

First of all, you need to let yourself know that retro style is imitative of lifestyles, trends or can also be based on art from the historical past, including music, fashions or attitudes.

This term retro has been used since 1960, with the purpose of describing new artifacts that consciously refer to particular modes, motifs, techniques and materials in previous years, however, other people use this style to describe or classify styles that were created in the past, in short, the retro style is based on showing new things that possess characteristics of the past.

On the other hand, the Futurist style or Futurism is one of the artistic currents that composed the avant-garde in Europe of the twentieth century.

It was a style whose purpose was based on breaking tradition, the past and everything that was within the characteristics of art and poetry, putting before its characteristics of exalting the sensual, the national and irreverence.

In fact, the futuristic style was classified as a movement that bet on the current, the aggressive and the fierce. In addition, Futurism is considered an important precedent of other later artistic movements, an example of this, Surrealism.

Although Futurism was focused on literature, it also had an important impact on painting.
