Artist Pedro Trueba brings Mexican color to the world

One of the guiding principles of Pedro Trueba's work is combining the memory of his native Veracruz with an abstract yet vibrant and distinctly Mexican style. For this visual artist, borders do not exist.

Whether in a plaza in Guatemala or a club in Dublin, Trueba is driven by the desire to represent a small part of the vast artistic universe encapsulated within his country with great pride and passion.

"Our reality inspires me by representing a joyful Mexico and Veracruz because Veracruz is my homeland. I was born there, in Minatitlán, Veracruz. I have a strong connection with the state of Veracruz and, of course, with Mexico.

In addition to his work with the brush, Trueba is a prominent figure in the national cultural world. He served as deputy director of museography at the National Museum of Anthropology, where he undertook significant projects in venues like the National Palace and the Metropolitan Cathedral.

With his paintings in tow, the architect has exhibited in spaces in New Zealand, Jordan, Guatemala, and the United States, where the Consulate of Kansas City recently invited him to unveil a mural and exhibit 40 of his more than 9,000 works.
