"Mujer Antigua" by Francisco Muñoz Tejeida: A Deep Connection with the AncestralArt as Cultural Testimony
Francisco Muñoz Tejeida is an artist whose work transcends the boundaries of time and space, connecting the ancestral with the contemporary. His work is deeply rooted in the indigenous traditions of Mexico, and through his art, he is able to express the cultural richness of his country. Influenced by great masters like Rufino Tamayo and Francisco Toledo, Muñoz Tejeida has managed to fuse modern techniques with traditional iconography, achieving a perfect balance between the old and the new. This blend has not only allowed him to generate a visual impact but also a cultural one, attracting and impressing audiences around the world.
"Mujer Antigua": The Reinterpretation of the Feminine Essence
In "Mujer Antigua" (2024), a mixed media work measuring 165x206 cm, Muñoz Tejeida presents a female figure that evokes ancestral wisdom and connection to the earth. Through firm strokes and deep textures, the woman stands as a symbol of power and freedom, reminding us of the strength of ancient civilizations. The predominant colors, such as black, violet, and white, create a visual interplay between light and shadow, accentuating the mystical character of the figure.
The work unfolds in an expressive abstract style, where the female form is presented with fluid strokes, moving away from realism to focus on the symbolic essence of the "Mujer Antigua." This figure becomes a bridge between the tangible and the spiritual, and through texture and geometric play, Muñoz Tejeida manages to convey a sense of life and warmth that permeates the entire composition. The woman, as the protagonist, serves as a reminder of Mexico's connection to its past, but also of its ability to renew and adapt.
The Career of a Master
Muñoz Tejeida honed his talent at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas of UNAM and the Taller de Gráfica Popular, where he learned to use printmaking as a tool for social expression. His works, exhibited in galleries and museums in Mexico, Europe, the United States, and Australia, showcase his ability to capture the essence of his culture, blending indigenous elements with modern influences. Muñoz Tejeida's work is not only influenced by major names in Mexican art but also by the surrealism of Joan Miró and Wilfredo Lam, allowing him to explore the subconscious through vibrant shapes and colors.
A Celebration of Past and Present
"Mujer Antigua" is a clear example of how Francisco Muñoz Tejeida manages to merge the ancestral with the contemporary. Through an expressive style filled with texture and nuances, the work invites us to reflect on Mexico's history and its ability to adapt to modern ideologies. The figure of the woman, laden with symbolism, stands as a bridge between the past and the present, and through vibrant strokes and colors, Muñoz Tejeida reminds us that art is a powerful tool for expressing the greatness of a culture.

Presentation
Francisco Muñoz Tejeida is an artist born in Mexico City, whose education at the National School of Plastic Arts (ENAP) of UNAM, formerly known as the Academy of San Carlos, laid the foundation for his extensive career as a painter and printmaker. His trajectory is marked by a deep dedication to graphic artistic production at the Taller de Gráfica Popular (TGP), where he worked for many years and developed a unique and distinctive style.
Influences and Style
Muñoz Tejeida is a worthy representative of modern Mexican art, characterized by a vibrant and textured style that integrates influences from pre-Hispanic cultures. His work is filled with folkloric symbolism, following the legacy of great Mexican artists. The influence of masters such as Rufino Tamayo and Rodolfo Nieto, as well as colorists like Henri Matisse and draftsmen like Pablo Picasso and Egon Schiele, is evident in his work, creating a language that, while primitive, is full of indigenous expression and a deep connection to his cultural roots.
Commitment and Experimentation
From the beginning, Muñoz Tejeida has shown an unwavering commitment to the modern vision of art, striving to develop an artistic expression that reflects the cultural richness of Mexico. His painting, printmaking, and sculpture aim to capture the smells, flavors, textures, lines, shapes, and colors of an ancestral culture that refuses to disappear. This commitment is manifested in his experimental work, which combines abstract and expressionist elements without adhering to homogeneous styles, always maintaining a unique and personal identity.
Exhibitions and Recognitions
Throughout his career, Francisco Muñoz Tejeida has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions in the United States, Europe, Australia, Central America, and especially Mexico, gaining recognition for his ability to create universal images with the color and texture of a culturally rich homeland. His work can attract, impress, and unsettle diverse audiences, standing out for its expressive strength and its ability to generate significant cultural impact.
Technique and Creative Process
Muñoz Tejeida's work is distinguished by his technical experimentation, especially in the field of printmaking, a discipline he learned at the TGP under the guidance of masters such as José Álvarez Amaya, Alfredo Méreles, and Luis Garzón. His creative process is monolithic and totemic, seeking balance and constant vibration in his compositions, whether on canvases or plates. The choice of colors and textures, as well as the organization of themes in series, reflects a deep understanding of artistic language and a controlled emotional connection that brings life and passion to his work.
