Amador Lugo (Santa Rosa, Guerrero, 1921 - Mexico City, 2002) began his artistic training from a young age, under the tutelage of Tamiji Kitagawa at the Escuela de Pintura al Aire Libre de Taxco (Outdoor Painting School). In 1942, he joined the engraving workshop at the Escuela Nacional de Artes del Libro (National School of Arts of the Book), where he perfected the technique of metal engraving with Carlos Alvarado Lang. He also graduated as a teacher in Visual Arts from the Escuela Normal Superior (Superior Normal School). Throughout his career, Lugo stood out for his ability to capture the landscapes, customs, and faces of Mexico in various materials such as paper, wood, metal, and stone. While his work tends toward figuration, he also experimented with abstraction. 

He is especially remembered for his landscapes, portraits, and lithographs, where he demonstrated his talent for representing life in both the countryside and the city, as well as for his portraits of women and female nudes that evoke the sensuality of the tropics. His legacy as master of Mexican landscape painting endures due to his versatility and deep capacity for observation.
