Saner’s works are informed by Mexican folklore and customs, incorporating symbolic and iconographic elements from the traditions of his country and he follows a long tradition of social and political muralism in Mexico. Some of his characters wear ancient indigenous Nahuale masks, (Nahuales are demons that animals made a pact with so they could look like normal people in the day and transform into animals at night to cause calamity).

— George Eliot, The Mill on the Floss
