Although he was born in Barcelona in 1932, Vicente Rojo Almazan is included in my blog of artists of Mexican descent since the bulk of his life's work took place in Mexico. He began his study of art in Spain with drawing, sculpture and ceramics and then traveled to Mexico in 1949 to study painting and printing. He has tended to work in series, of which his work is divided into five: Senales (signs), Negacionales (denials) , Recuerdos (memories), Mexico bajo la lluvia (under the rain), and Escenarios (scenarios).
In addition to painting, he has also worked professionally in graphic arts and sculpture. Almazan won the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts.
