The story of the "14 roses" actually refers to a historical error that gave its name to the case of the Thirteen Roses , 13 young women shot by the Franco regime in August 1939.
They are known as "roses" in memory of their youth, and it was thanks to the case of a fourteenth "rose", Antonia Torre Yela, executed months later, that the error was discovered although they continued to be called the Thirteen Roses.

The 14 young women were accused of rebellion for reorganizing the Unified Socialist Youth (JSU) and organizing an attack against Franco, of which they were acquitted, but were executed anyway.

On this occasion, the artist draws inspiration from the tragic story of these fourteen women to create his work.
