In the 1990s Vlady painted several monumental canvases. In 1994, he completed a series of four pieces for the Secretaría de Gobernación called "Luces y obscuridad", "Violencias fraternas", "Descendimiento y ascension" and "Huella del pasado". However, these works were disappeared shortly after their official presentation to the former Lecumberri prison when Vlady came out in support of the ongoing Zapatista rebellion in Chiapas . In 1995, he presented another monumental work, yet unfinished, to the bishop of Chiapas, Samuel Ruiz in support of the same movement. Called "Tatic", it expresses sympathy to the Zapatistas and was completed entirely in 2000.
