Luis García Guerrero (Guanajuato, 1921 - Mexico City, 1996) moved to Mexico City at an early age, where he began his artistic training at the Academy of San Carlos. He later enrolled in La Esmeralda (National School of Painting, Sculpture and Printmaking), complemented by periods of self-taught study and training at the Painting Techniques Workshop of the Instituto Politécnico Nacional (National Polytechnic Institute).

He is recognized as one of the most prominent painters of Mexican realism, working in genres such as still lifes, landscapes, and nature studies, where he blended academic representation with colors, forms, and atmospheres inspired by Mexican traditions. His work is distinguished by a strong foundation in drawing, influences from Mexican painting, references to European avant-garde movements, and meticulous attention to detail in his still lifes.

In addition to painting, García Guerrero explored illustration, stained glass design, and printmaking. Throughout his career, his work was exhibited in numerous group and solo exhibitions across Mexico, with notable venues including the Museo de Arte Moderno (Museum of Modern Art) in Mexico City and the Galería de Arte Mexicano (Mexican Art Gallery).
