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.
