Biography
Favio Martínez, better known as Curiot Tlapazotl, is a Mexican artist born in 1983 in La Piedad, Michoacán. A 2008 graduate of the Universidad Michoacana, he spent several years in San Francisco before returning to Mexico City, where he developed a singular imagery halfway between Nahua cosmogony, Mexican folk art and contemporary illustration.
His murals stage hybrid half-human, half-animal creatures adorned with geometric patterns, feather headdresses and ritual masks, in compositions saturated with complementary colours. This personal mythology, rooted in the Day of the Dead, pre-Hispanic legends and Pacific tattoo cultures, runs alongside his studio work on canvas and paper.
He has painted walls in Mexico City, San Francisco, Wynwood (Miami), New York, Atlanta, Pow! Wow! Hawaii and shows with Thinkspace Projects in Los Angeles. His Quetzen-tul con una canica más mural on the Museo del Juguete Antiguo México building (2013) is one of the most iconic in central Mexico City.
