Ecuadorian Muralism
Ecuadorian Muralism is an artistic movement that emerged in the mid-20th century, characterized by large-scale murals that reflect social, political, and cultural themes. Artists sought to engage the public and convey messages about identity, history, and social justice, often drawing inspiration from indigenous cultures and local traditions.
Prominent figures in this movement include Oswaldo Guayasamín and Eduardo Kingman, who used their art to address issues such as poverty and oppression. The murals can be found in public spaces, schools, and government buildings, making art accessible to all and fostering a sense of community and awareness among viewers.
