What to expect

  1. 40m
    A member of the first generation of the Rufino Tamayo plastic arts workshop, Enrique Flores has dedicated decades to the study, practice and improvement of the different engraving techniques, with teachers such as Atanasio García Tapia, Octavio Bajonero and with Juan Alcázar in the free graphic workshop Oaxaqueña, understood the principles and rules of the stamp since the mid-70s.
  2. 40m
    Caballero's characteristic style is abstract-figurative Expressionism. One of his main themes are characters from his imagination with infinite stories, in them we see round and square eyes because, as he says, it is the way that everyone sees the world, through their own experiences. Alexis is a young artist on whom you have to set your eyes, you have to know and recognize his work, because his art is spectacular, and because he is part of the new generation that in a few years will be recognized - even more - as one of the most important artistic currents in Mexico.
  3. 40m
    In the pictorial work of Jesús Cuevas it is possible to find various techniques, such as French impressionism, due to the handling of color and the atmosphere that is romantic and for all the elements that make it up, which make it a classic. The colors and textures that he creates with artistic techniques capture moods that become the protagonists of each of the pieces.
  4. 40m
    In Eddy Vasquez's work, it is those powerful memories of the past and of his own family history that animate some of his works. Individual creations, whose technical prowess dialogues with a natural and biodiverse world: grasshoppers, mantises, palm trees, pochotes, elephant feet, willows. His continuous experimentation with substances to make textures seek to recreate a deep landscape with diverse colors, joy, music and movement.
  5. 40m
    Maestro Manuel Miguel's workshop will enjoy his current artistic work. His work has multiplied in various techniques (sculpture in metal, ceramics, wood; graphics, oil, acrylic, graphic design, etc.). With a neat creativity he paints like a fantastic chronicler his dizzying fauna and flora. Builder and architect, fascinated by geometric shapes, networks of meaning and the modern world of interconnection.
  6. El Mirador
    10m
    We will pass by the viewpoint of the city of Oaxaca, same that with pleasure on our return we could take a souvenir photo.
