Contemporary to the so-called “Rupture’s Generation” (represented by Manuel Felguérez, Vicente Rojo, Lilia Carrillo and Alberto Gironella among others) but closer, by affinity and coexistence, to the exiled European artists living in Mexico, like Remedios Varo, Leonora Carrington, Vlady, Mathias Goeritz, Francisco Moreno Capdevilla and Benito Messeger.
