Celso Zubire

Happy Birthday Celso Zubire!

Mexican painter Celso Zubire was born on September 20, 1947, in Venustiano Carranza, Puebla. Zubire studied publicity and fine arts at Academy of San Carlos. In addition to his formal education, he traveled extensively in North and South America and Europe, learning about different cultures and art. He also lived in Louisiana, in the US for a time, painting murals.

Zubire's paintings are brightly colored in a bold, modern style. His themes include Mayan images, women, mermaids, musicians, etc. His work has shown all over Mexico and the US, as well as in Canada. I love the Cubist tendencies in the painting below!
