Hi all,
I’ve done all the searches here on this site and elsewhere and can’t find what I am specifically looking for.
I’m looking for a recommendation of a local artist to paint a mural on a wall in our home. Female figurative/with abstract background Inspired by a Zihuatanejo Frida mural that I saw that was done by a New York artist a few years back -I would love to have someone local do something in their own / but a similar style (not Frida tho) for me.
Suggestions?
Sadly I can’t seem to attach a photo, but here’s a link I think …

We have a beautiful 25 meter mural by Salvador Tinoco. He is on Facebook. He did ours 4.5 years ago and we are about to have another one done by him. We told him what we wanted and he brought a watercolor of his concept the next day. Fabulous!!!
We highly recommend him. He has public murals at the street end of the alley next to La Perla and at the beach of the alley between Villa Mexican and The Thompson. He also has several in the artisans alley on Playa Principal.

Haha I just sent you a note! Check your email and send me a pic! In the meantime, I will look him up on FB.

I've used both Suazo and Mayren for framed art commissions that were based on other art. Mayren did a painting from a photo I took of the goddess Mayahuel from a mural at El Destilado restaurant in Oaxaca. Mayren used to have a shop on Adelita at the corner, but I think she is now in downtown Zihua. Suazo has done several paintings for us. He paints with wonderful detail. His gallery is next to Tequila Por Favor in Zihua. He also has art on display at Margaritas restaurant.

Thank you! I will look them both up…. I am familiar with Sauzo but I think he’s probably way too expensive for my 8 ft commission but it can’t hurt to inquire! Anyway I appreciate you weighing in and will have a look at both!

I highly recommend Rubí Quintana. She is extremely talented and versatile.

Jossy Gallegos' brother Roberto Gallegos is my vote. He's painted murals throughout Zihua. He is on Facebook. And, he is a huge amigo de animales.

I wanted to follow up on my post/question I posed a few months ago regarding a mural artist. Thank you all again for your suggestions, I did research and considered several options and ended up going with Rubi Quintana as suggested by Rob.
She was an absolute delight and my wall art turned out exactly as I had hoped after a thoughtful collaboration of ideas with Rubi. She is extremely talented and it was lovely having her energy in my home for a week and now on my wall forever. If you’d like to see the result, shoot me an email, as I don’t have any of the external website options for posting a photo here…. believe me it is even more beautiful in real life.
