Arcadio Esquivel, Costa Rica
Arcadio Esquivel's 2019 cartoon portrays a figure resembling Nicolás Maduro, the Venezuelan leader, as a tyrant clutching a massive, spiked club smeared in red, dripping blood-like substance.

This work fits into broader Latin American political satire, emphasizing the bloody cost of socialist policies under Maduro's regime. The artist's signature anchors the simple composition, making it shareable for editorial pages.
