This thesis presents the historical and artistic aspects of a centuries-old spiritual tradition in Mexico. It consists of a theoretical and practical or artistic part of the work. In the theoretical part, I deal with the history of pre-Hispanic marking and honoring of their deceased, what were their beliefs and how they viewed the spiritual world. I showed how the tradition developed, what kind of symbolism it has, what are the constituent elements and when and how the holiday is celebrated. I have studied the detailed description of the celebration of the Day of the Dead according to digital documents and available literature, where it is visible what they wear, what customs are respected, what food and drinks they prepare, where they gather and how they celebrate. I looked at the individual regions of Mexico and presented some typical manifestations as well as the differences in marking for a certain area. I also focused on the traditional clothing of Mexican men and women, considering that it is the starting point for the origin of the indigenous and very recognizable costume worn on the Day of the Dead. I also touched on the influence of this tradition on culture and where everything is mentioned in cinematography. In the artistic part of my work, inspired by lavish costumes, makeup and other elements present on the Day of the Dead in Mexico, I create artistic solutions, i.e. sketches of costumes with personal designer intervention and makeup suitable for a stage performance or going to a pedestrian parade. Within the artwork, photographs are attached as the main medium I use in the documentation of my works.
