Froylán Ojeda
Froylán Ojeda (Veracruz, 1932-1991) studied between 1945 and 1948 at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas (National School of Fine Arts), where he was taught by professors such as Benjamín Coria and Luis Sahagún. In 1951, he joined the Taller de Materiales Plásticos (Fine Arts Materials Workshop) at the Instituto Politécnico Nacional (Polytechnic National Institute), and in 1955, the Taller de Integración Plástica (Fine Arts Integration Workshop). The following year, he continued his training at La Esmeralda.
His early artistic phase, corresponding to the 1950s, stands out for its quality and originality. However, during the 1960s, he shifted his work toward a more commercial and decorative style, resulting in a prolific but less artistically significant production. Despite this, his first ten years of work deserve to be revisited and could serve as the centerpiece of a solo exhibition to reappraise this phase of his career.
