"El Beso" is a piece that exemplifies Francisco Muñoz Tejeida's mastery in creating works that combine emotion with cultural symbolism. This painting not only depicts a moment of tenderness but is also imbued with a deep sense of connection to his indigenous roots. The inspiration drawn from artists such as Pablo Picasso and Egon Schiele is palpable, granting the work powerful expressiveness.
The use of a vibrant color palette, featuring blues, grays, and blacks, along with his mixed technique, contributes to a rich texture that captures the viewer's attention. The geometry of the composition accentuates the relationship between the figures, allowing the painting to convey both happiness and enthusiasm.
"El Beso" also resonates with the influences of Rufino Tamayo, whose compositions are distinguished by the synthesis of modern and traditional elements and his focus on the human figure within a deep cultural context. The connection between the characters in Tejeida's work echoes Tamayo's ability to capture the essence of Mexican identity through a visually symbolic narrative.
Furthermore, the influence of European artists like Egon Schiele and Henri Matisse is evident in the expressive use of line and color. Tejeida's ability to merge these artistic currents while maintaining his unique style allows him to create a work that transcends cultural boundaries, uniting Mexican tradition with European modernity. "El Beso" thus becomes a timeless piece that celebrates love in its many dimensions.

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.
