Antonio Serna (Barcelona, 1936 – Mexico City, 2012), whose full name was Antonio Rodríguez de la Serna, was the son of Antonio Rodríguez Luna. He arrived in Mexico at the age of three and always considered himself a Mexican painter of Spanish origin. A self-taught artist, he began painting professionally in 1958. His early works were influenced by his father’s style, though his primary distinction lay in his depictions of Mexican peasants in exile. He was a member of the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana (Salon of Mexican Fine Art), and his work was promoted by the Galería Pecanins (Pecanins Gallery).
