Luis Covarrubias Duclaud (Mexico City, 1919 - Poza Rica, Veracruz, 1987) studied chemistry but, influenced by his brother Miguel, pursued a career in the visual arts and developed a strong interest in archaeology. Throughout his life, he worked as a cultural promoter, museographer, muralist, and visual artist, leaving a significant legacy in various cultural spaces across the country.

At the Museo Nacional de Antropología (National Museum of Anthropology), he contributed to the integration of works that complemented the efforts of artists such as Rina Lazo and Leonora Carrington, among others. He also created murals in Mexico City and Michoacán. His work stands out for achieving a synthesis between the modern language of post-revolutionary art and the influence of Mesoamerican cultures, capturing in his illustrations and representations, a profound understanding of the societies of that historical period.
