Francisco Dosamantes (Mexico City, 1911 – 1986) began his artistic training at the former Academia de San Carlos, where he was closely associated with professors from the Escuela Mexicana de Pintura (Mexican School of Painting), many of whom were part of the muralist movement. He specialized in printmaking, and his work with the cultural initiatives of the Secretaría de Educación Pública  (Ministry of Public Education) took him to various states in Mexico, where his art became deeply rooted in depicting rural scenes and historically marginalized groups. 

His political activity and social commitment led him to join the avant-garde group “30-30,” which sought a non-academic artform and created a synthesis between the muralist movement and the stridentism movement. His works were presented in venues such as the Galería de Arte Mexicano (Mexican Art Gallery) and the Galería de Arte Moderno (Modern Art Gallery). His artwork has been exhibited in parts of Europe, the United States, and Mexico.
