Farid Rueda

Farid Rueda is a Mexican muralist born in 1986 in the state of Morelos. He grew up in Xochimilco, Mexico City, and trained at the National School of Plastic Arts (ENAP). His painting is recognisable by its saturated electric colour and its totemic animals, whose fur and feathers break down into repeated patterns borrowed from pre-Hispanic cultures. He has painted in more than thirty countries and tailors each mural to the place hosting it, weaving in local symbols.
