Siguiendo la luna: A Journey Between the Dreamlike and the Earthly
A visual journey into the subconscious
Francisco Muñoz Tejeida has been a key name in contemporary Mexican art, and his work "Siguiendo la luna" clearly reflects his ability to merge tradition and modernity. Trained at the National School of Plastic Arts (ENAP) of UNAM, his artistic approach combines influences from pre-Hispanic cultures with abstraction and surrealism. With a solid career recognized internationally, Muñoz Tejeida has exhibited in Mexico, the United States, Europe, and beyond, managing to resonate with audiences worldwide.
The concept behind "Siguiendo la luna"
In "Siguiendo la luna" (90x41 cm, mixed media, 2020), Muñoz Tejeida presents a work where fluid strokes and singular shapes seem to come to life in a symbolic journey, a path following the moon. The bright tones, especially brown, orange, and green, create an atmosphere of warmth and life, evoking the majesty of the Mexican landscape. The moon, a recurring symbol of transformation and guidance, is the central axis that guides the characters as they move between the dreamlike and the earthly.
The composition is a clear example of the artist's abstract expressionism, where dynamic textures and geometric balances generate a feeling of constant motion. The shapes do not adhere to any homogeneous style, reinforcing Muñoz Tejeida's creative autonomy, who creates a visual language full of spontaneity and emotion.
An artist influenced by the great masters
Throughout his career, Francisco Muñoz Tejeida has drawn from various artistic influences. From Picasso's cubism, which allowed him to explore the fragmentation of forms, to the surrealism of Joan Miró and Wilfredo Lam, who inspired him to integrate symbolic and subconscious elements into his work. These influences are evident in "Siguiendo la luna", where abstract figures and spontaneous strokes immerse us in both a visual and emotional experience.
A conclusion full of textures and emotions
"Siguiendo la luna" is a piece that invites the viewer to be carried away by the fluidity of its forms and colors. With each brushstroke, Francisco Muñoz Tejeida offers us a window into his worldview, where texture is not just a tool but a vehicle to communicate Mexico's cultural richness and the complexity of human emotions. The work is a testament to his ability to intertwine the traditional with the contemporary, creating a piece of art that transcends borders and time.

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.
