Most Famous Mexican Artists

These creators have introduced the world to Mexican culture through their masterpieces. Their paintings, sculptures, and music each tell a part of Mexico’s rich story.

Most Famous Mexican Artists of All Time


Famous Mexican Artists: Painting

Over the last 150 years, Mexican painters have become a global artistic benchmark. Influenced by their geopolitical and historical context, Mexican painters are united mainly by a strong commitment to the social causes of their time, particularly during the first half of the 20th century.

Hi, I’m Nellie — a lifelong traveler, book author, and adventurous mum. In 2021, we moved our home base to San Miguel de Allende, and absolutely fell in love with Mexico. I created this blog to share my love for Mexico; read more here.

1. Frida Kahlo

None of the Mexican artists featured on this list is more famous than Frida Kahlo. This artist is remembered for her intense self-portraits that reflected on identity, gender, and postcolonialism in mid-20th-century Mexican society.

Throughout her life, Kahlo faced various health issues, leading her to find solace in painting. Consequently, Kahlo created around 150 works that continue to be studied and exhibited worldwide. Undoubtedly, Frida Kahlo is the most recognized Mexican artist globally, and her work brought Mexican popular culture (with which she was always deeply engaged) to the forefront of the world art scene.

Her biopic titled ‘Frida‘ starring Salma Hayek is one of the best movies about Mexico. If you want to see some of her work and learn more about her life, you can visit her old home, La Casa Azul, in Mexico City. Her beautiful house has been turned into a museum, where you can see some of her artwork and walk in her eclectic kitchen and see the bed in which she lay when she had polio. It’s definitely one of the must-see museums in Mexico City.

Most Famous Works by Frida Kahlo

  • The Two Fridas
  • Diego and I
  • Henry Ford Hospital
  • The Wounded Deer
  • The Broken Column

2. José María Velasco

José María Velasco is the most celebrated landscape painter in the history of Mexican art. His career began at a time when painting revolved around religious and historical compositions featuring human figures, making his dedication and talent for faithfully documenting nature revolutionary for the period.

His precise brushstrokes and sensitive color palette have transformed his paintings into historical and geographical resources for studying the effects of the demographic explosion in central Mexico over the last 150 years. You can visit the Museo Nacional de Arte in Mexico City to see some of his work with your own eyes.

Most Famous Works by José María Velasco

  • Popocatépetl and Iztaccihuatl

  • Ahuehuete

3. Diego Rivera

Frida Kahlo’s husband, Diego Rivera, is remembered for his socially themed murals adorning public buildings in Mexico and the United States. This painter showed an early interest in the arts, earning him support to travel to Europe to study the works of great masters like Goya.

These experiences allowed him to experiment with cubism and post-impressionism firsthand before adopting a distinctly modernist style. His work, characterized by a vibrant color palette, portrays scenes of the history of Mexico while celebrating the global labor struggle.

Frida Kahlo can be seen among the characters displayed in his work, along with Diego himself and Frida’s sister, with whom Diego cheated on Frida (scandalous!). There’s a whole museum dedicated to his work, the Museo Mural Diego Rivera in Mexico City.

4. José Clemente Orozco

José Clemente Orozco was one of the great exponents of Mexican muralism alongside Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros. His work delved into themes such as prehistoric rituals, the cultural roots of indigenous peoples in western Mexico, the oppression exerted by Spanish conquistadors, and the independence struggle from an expressionist perspective intersecting with social realism.

Orozco, a socially committed painter, is remembered for his dynamic style with a dramatic tendency, particularly evident in the murals of the Hospicio Cabañas. It’s one of the best places to visit in Guadalajara, especially if you’re a history buff. I’ve been there several times and the mural paintings blow me away every single time.

His murals are in important buildings in different cities of Mexico besides the Hospicio Cabañas, such as the Palacio de Gobierno, also in Guadalajara, and the Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso in Mexico City.

5. David Alfaro Siqueiros

David Alfaro Siqueiros, a prominent figure in Mexican muralism, is remembered for his dynamic style. His works, characterized by bold strokes of black and a vivid color palette, express intense emotions through a fusion of Mexican tradition and elements of surrealism and European expressionism.

Deeply committed to socialist ideals, Siqueiros sought a balance between pictorial techniques and the technological revolution of the time to inspire the most vulnerable sectors of society.

There are several museums in Mexico City where you can see his murals, like the Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso, La Casa de los Azulejos, the Palacio de Bellas Artes, the Supreme Court of Justice building.

6. Rufino Tamayo

Throughout his career, Rufino Tamayo blended European styles like cubism and surrealism with motifs from Mexican popular culture (always infused with profound symbolism) using an explosive color palette and an experimental aesthetic.

Of Zapotec origin, he maintained a close relationship with social themes, although he distinguished himself from the group of Mexican painters of his time, such as Rivera and Siqueiros, by focusing on formal aesthetic matters rather than allowing political discourse to be the center of his work.

His participation in the 1950 Venice Biennale propelled him to international stardom. The Museo Rufino Tamayo in Mexico City is a museum built in his honor.

7. María Izquierdo

María Izquierdo was the first female artist to exhibit outside of Mexico. In her work, we find self-portraits, landscapes, and still lifes enveloped in a surreal air influenced by Mexican folklore.

Throughout her life, she denounced the hegemony exercised by male artists in Mexico’s cultural scene, “It’s a crime to be a woman and have talent,” she said in 1953 and chose to give a leading role to the female figure in her work, where loneliness and the dreamlike are recurring themes. The Museo Nacional de Arte in Mexico City holds a great collection of pieces by this artist.

His spectacular murals adorn some of the best museums in Mexico City, including the Palace of Fine Arts, Museo de Arte Moderno and the National Museum of Anthropology.

Aurora Reyes is renowned as the first Mexican female muralist. Throughout her life, she crafted seven monumental pieces.

Her commitment to the struggle of women workers and peasants is vividly captured in her large-scale works, while her paintings delve into everyday scenes and depictions of children. A close friend of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, she also worked as a visual arts teacher.

Additionally, Reyes ventured into poetry, and her challenging words led to her being banned by the Mexican government. All her pieces of art are located in Mexico City, where art appreciation is one of the many things you can do. You can see her greatest mural in the SNTE’s Auditorio 15 de Mayo auditory in Mexico City.

Emilia Ortiz was a versatile artist who experimented with various themes and techniques throughout her life.

She produced everything from stylized portraits in a modernist style to surreal compositions and pieces with a hint of abstract expressionism; she even did caricature illustrations. As a result, it’s almost possible to trace the history of 20th-century art through her exceptional portfolio, consisting of over 4,000 pieces.

Ortiz delved into subjects such as Mexican identity, especially drawing inspiration from the Cora and Huichol cultures, with a clear influence from Rivera, Orozco, and Siqueiros. You can visit the Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Emilia Ortiz, a museum dedicated to her in Tepic, Nayarit.

  • We recently stayed at a beautiful Airbnb in Valencia, Spain 🇪🇸 and we all enjoyed having it as our temporary home. 

With high ceilings and an open concept, the loft is a rare find in a big city like Valencia. It has 3 queen beds, large cushy sofas, a big dining area and even a work desk - perfect for digital nomads like us. 💻

It’s located next to the hip Russafa district and the lush Parque Central, steps from tapas bars and supermarkets. We spent €150/night for this place, which we found pretty reasonable.

Comment AIRBNB and I’ll dm you a link to the apartment.

P.S. We paid for the stay ourselves, just wanted to share this rare find with y’all!

  • I might be biased as my husband is from Spain and I lived in Spain for 7+ years… but I think Spain has the best food in the world! 🇪🇸 🍷🥘🍤🫒

Our recent trip back to Spain felt like a culinary journey, where we had all of our favorite dishes (mine’s seafood!) and probably ate more than we should. 

We had paella in Valencia where it was meant to be eaten, fresh mussels right on the beach, perfectly grilled octopus just off the grill, tangy snails in Madrid, and way too many tapas to count.

We ate our way through Madrid, Calpe and Valencia and returned back to Mexico with our stomachs and hearts full.

  • A few summers ago, Alberto and I spent 2 blissful weeks in Greece, just the two of us. And it was truly magical! ☀️🔱🏛🧿🌊🧜🏻‍♀️🇬🇷

Sailing the Ionian Sea with @yachtgetaways, we spent our days snorkeling, paddle boarding and exploring gorgeous Greek towns. For the first time in years, we actually had time to nap, read and simply do nothing. 🤿🛥️🌊🌴

By the end of the trip, we felt refreshed and truly rested. It was the break that we never knew we needed!

What are your plans for this summer??? Travel, hit the beach, or simply do nothing?

  • Facts that don’t match our IG feed:

1. We are not full-time travelers; we consider ourselves semi-nomadic, traveling often from our home base in Mexico. 🇲🇽 

2. As much as we love travel, we also enjoy having a home base and community. Living somewhere really allows us to immerse deeply and learn about a country’s culture. 

3. Like other families, we have boring days at home when we do laundry, clean the house, and take care of household chores. It’s not all beach days, mountain hikes and road trips! ⛰️

4. Both Alberto and I work full-time remotely. But that also means we need to be always connected, which can be challenging when we travel to remote places. 🛜

5. We hardly get real vacations (only at Christmas or when we’re in places with no wifi). We work even when we’re traveling. Sometimes it can be stressful and tiring. 👩‍💻

6. Despite being a travel writer and blogger, most of our travels are self-funded. We get hosted in certain hotels but we mostly pay our own way these days. 🌎

7. We don’t homeschool our kid; we make the most of school holidays and take Kaleya out of school often to travel. 🧳 

8. We’re not super wealthy and don’t have any trust funds — we work hard, we don’t spend money excessively, and we manage our finances well. 💰

9. Kaleya was born in Spain, then we lived in the Netherlands when she was 2-6 years old, and Mexico from 7-10 years old. When people ask her where she’s from, she always proudly says Spain! 🇪🇸 

10. Now that Kaleya is 10yo, it’s easy to travel with her! She packs her own bag, reads on her Kindle during downtime and walks everywhere with us. But there are still days when she complains, refuses to walk, and wants to do nothing. 🤪

Just trying to keep it real! Who else can relate to these?

  • My parents taught me to dream big ✨— that anything is possible as long as you work hard for it. That big dreams aren’t just for other people — they’re for anyone who’s willing to go after them.
⁣
That stuck with me.

And now, I want my kid to grow up seeing that too. I want her to know the world is huge and full of opportunity. That she’s capable of chasing whatever lights her up inside.

So we travel. We say yes to adventure. 

Because the best way to teach her to dream big… is to chase my own dreams.

  • Everyone talks about South of Spain but have you heard of these beautiful beach towns in Costa Blanca on the eastern coast? 

I lived in Spain for 7+ years (my husband is from here) and we’ve been to many beach destinations all over the South of Spain but they can get really busy. 🌊

We love how glorious and quiet the beaches and historic towns here are at this time of the year! These spots are just 1-1.5 hours from Valencia and Alicante, easily accessible by car or bus. 🏝️

📍 Altea — Voted the most beautiful old town in Spain, topped by a stunning cathedral 

📍Calpe — A laidback beach town dominated by the iconic monolith, Peñon de Ifach

📍 Javea — Quaint village surrounded by stunning coves, sea cliffs and beachfront restaurants

  • 20 years on, we’re still traveling hand-in-hand… now with our kid in tow! Life would probably look very different if I hadn’t gone on exchange, met my husband, and got hooked to travel. 🌏

Funny how a small decision can make a huge difference in life. So glad I chose this path — I wouldn’t have it any other way!

  • We’re staying at an Airbnb in Calpe, Spain, that’s an actual architectural masterpiece. I’m pretty convinced this was the inspiration behind The Squid Game 🦑. 

Even though it looks like a fortress or a labyrinth, La Muralla Roja (The Red Wall in English) is an apartment complex designed by Ricardo Bofill (@BofillArquitectura) in 1968 and built in 1973. It houses 50 homes that are interconnected by bridges and patios.

[Pssst… Comment SQUID and I’ll send you a link to this Airbnb!]

The exterior’s various shades of red contrast with the landscape while the patios and stairs are painted light blue, indigo and violet to blend with the sky and the sea.

My kid especially loved the complex structure of the buildings. We spent hours getting lost in the labyrinth and exploring every nook and cranny.

Would you stay here?

We recently stayed at a beautiful Airbnb in Valencia, Spain 🇪🇸 and we all enjoyed having it as our temporary home. With high ceilings and an open concept, the loft is a rare find in a big city like Valencia. It has 3 queen beds, large cushy sofas, a big dining area and even a work desk - perfect for digital nomads like us. 💻 It’s located next to the hip Russafa district and the lush Parque Central, steps from tapas bars and supermarkets. We spent €150/night for this place, which we found pretty reasonable. Comment AIRBNB and I’ll dm you a link to the apartment. P.S. We paid for the stay ourselves, just wanted to share this rare find with y’all! 👋🏻 Hi! I’m Nellie, a travel writer and I share all I’ve learned about digital nomad family travel here.

I might be biased as my husband is from Spain and I lived in Spain for 7+ years… but I think Spain has the best food in the world! 🇪🇸 🍷🥘🍤🫒 Our recent trip back to Spain felt like a culinary journey, where we had all of our favorite dishes (mine’s seafood!) and probably ate more than we should. We had paella in Valencia where it was meant to be eaten, fresh mussels right on the beach, perfectly grilled octopus just off the grill, tangy snails in Madrid, and way too many tapas to count. We ate our way through Madrid, Calpe and Valencia and returned back to Mexico with our stomachs and hearts full. 📌Save this list for your next trip to Spain!
