The expressive cityscape of Luces en la ciudad del pintor Francisco Muñoz Tejeida
Luces en la ciudad del pintor Francisco Muñoz Tejeida, painted in 2019 with acrylic on textile, measures 42 x 107 cm. Its vertical format captures a sense of ascension and motion, ideal for a composition that blends urban themes with abstract expression. The artist leverages the absorbent quality of the textile surface to build layers of color, creating depth and visual tension throughout the work.
Balance and rhythm through abstract form
The structure of the composition is driven by intuitive movement. Soft curves and angular elements combine to suggest a vibrant yet harmonious space. The figures, though abstract, evoke a city in constant motion. The piece resists strict interpretation, encouraging an open-ended experience, while its chromatic richness adds to its sense of vitality.
Heritage and innovation in dialogue
Muñoz Tejeida's work reflects a confluence of visual references. From the geometric strength of Alexander Calder to the emotional simplicity of Matisse, his influences are diverse yet integrated. Within a Latin American context, his approach honors pre-Columbian visual codes while remaining contemporary and autonomous. His training at La Esmeralda, a school shared by major artists like Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, adds depth to his artistic vision.
Color as cultural statement
The use of color in this piece is striking. Bold contrasts between warm and cool tones carry emotional weight and cultural resonance. Colors like orange, yellow, blue, and black are not merely decorative but contribute to the overall message: a city full of life, strength, and creative energy. Muñoz Tejeida's textured technique adds further meaning to the surface, turning each area into a field of emotional density.
Why Luces en la ciudad del pintor Francisco Muñoz Tejeida stands out
The painting offers a compelling balance between formal intention and expressive freedom. With no need for literal representation, the artist constructs a symbolic urban world that communicates mood, rhythm, and identity. In this work, Francisco Muñoz Tejeida captures both the complexity of a cultural legacy and the immediacy of artistic expression.

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.
