A Mexican muralist is an artist who creates large-scale murals, often on walls or ceilings, that reflect social, political, and cultural themes. This art form gained prominence in Mexico during the early 20th century, particularly after the Mexican Revolution. Muralists aimed to make art accessible to the public and convey messages about the struggles and aspirations of the Mexican people. Notable Mexican muralists include Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco. Their works often depict historical events, indigenous culture, and critiques of social injustice. These murals can be found in public spaces, schools, and government buildings, serving as a visual narrative of Mexico's history and identity.
