Rodolfo Morales was a Zapotec-Mexican painter born in Ocotlán de Morelos, Oaxaca. His works are a mix of dream-like folkloric canvas, collages, murals and even furniture. He founded the Rodolfo Morales Cultural Foundation and supported the restoration of several buildings including the municipal complex of his hometown and Convent of Santo Domingo (Oaxaca City). In his artwork you will see indigenous people (specifically women), colorful images, dogs, children, and daily chores. He greatly appreciated women´s contribution, once stating “Mexico would be lost without the steadfast work of women …”.
In this experience you will visit the Rodolfo Morales Museum, the house where he grew up, now the current Foundation´s office, and you will be able to taste the traditional food of the village. |
