Mexico City-based street artist Favio Martinez or ‘Curiot’ creates impressive street art murals.
Colorful and complex, his works depict “mythical half-animal, half-human figures and scenes”, which often reflect Mexican traditions like “geometric designs, Day of the Dead styles, myths and legends, [and] tribal elements”.
“Growing up in the States sort of gave me a diluted Mexican culture, I had no clue what I was missing out on until I moved back 10 years ago”, said Curiot. “The bright colors, folklore, ancient cultures and the beautiful handcrafts are some of the things that I embraced and which influence my work deeply.”
