Luis Y. Aragon

Happy Birthday Luis Yaotl Aragon!!

Luis Y. Aragon was born in 1939, in Chihuahua, Mexico. He is best known for his sculpted murals. He studied under painters and muralists such as: Manuel Rodriguez and Raul Anguiano at  the Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado "La Esmeralda". His work has been constructed and exhibited all over the world. He has also been invited to lecture. Aragon's paintings are often based in fantasy with angels a favored element for "not religious but rather aesthetic and as representations of the flow of the universe" **

The mural pictured here is located at the Otomi Cultural center, a congregational spot for the Otomi Indians of the area to meet and celebrate.
