Born in Mexico City in 1932; died in 2023. He studied the violin for nearly twenty years at the National Conservatory and gave recitals in the Manuel M. Ponce hall at Bellas Artes before leaving music behind. He finished high school in the physics and mathematics track and studied business administration at UNAM; in 1956, after consulting Siqueiros, he painted his first mural in that school’s auditorium. He worked in painting, sculpture, murals, tapestry, printmaking and stained glass, in what critics called magical expressionism.
