In 1919, having returned to Guatemala five years earlier, the artist moved to Mexico City where he worked as Diego Rivera’s mural painting assistant.

David Siqueiros (1896 - 1974) was a Mexican painter and one of the founders of the Mexican Mural Movement, one of the "Big Three", with Jose Clemente Orosco and Diego Rivera. He was also a Communist, life-long political activist, veteran of the Mexican Revolution and Spanish Civil War, sometime political prisoner, outspoken polemicist and would-be assassin. Throughout his life, he espoused the ideal that art, by its nature, had to be political in order to carry any substance, decrying the art of capitalist Europe and the United States. Siqueiros went, perhaps, the furthest of all the muralists in his attempts to combine his political views and aesthetic ideals with modern technical means to create a truly "public artâ&#x20AC;?.

Fernando Andriacci is distinguished for his work in painting, ceramics and mural work. His work is predominated by animal and vegetable figures, richly dressed with smaller ones and with designs that are inserted in the decorative. Andriacci is known for the zoomorphic representations which become an own bestiary that recreates the dimension of the fantastic. Andriacci creates images by joining straight, zigzag, oblique lines, curves that seem to have been drawn regardless of color, however, they coexist in perfect balance. Similarly, the use of mixed techniques enriches textures, without neglecting harmony. His work has gone from variegation to a lower saturation of space and a search for greater balance in shades. The composition is a playful space that seems to emerge from the same imaginative wealth as its countrymen. It is a composition related to the narrative, which becomes a window that shows the variety and importance of local traditions. But more than imaginative wealth Andriacci is the holder and bearer of the cultural wealth that characterizes art in this region of the country and with which it transcends the realm of the universal.
