Lauro López (Mexico City, 1930 - Temixco, Morelos, 1996) studied at the Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado, La Esmeralda (National School of Painting, Sculpture and Printmaking), before completing a stay in Paris. A large part of his work consists of portraits and still lifes, but because his production often did not align with the avant-garde artistic scene, particularly with the Breakaway Generation, he has been relegated to the category of a marginal artist. However, this did not prevent him from maintaining a particular interest in investigating the issues of color, form, light manipulation, and even the presence of textures in his pieces.
