About Luis Nishizawa

  • Biography

    In addition to being an outstanding painter, draftsman, engraver, sculptor, muralist and teacher, Nishizawa also exerted with great tenacity the cultural promotion in Mexico. Because he had a Japanese father and Mexican mother, he was able to surpass his international heritage to create a very particular style: Mexican landscape with Middle Eastern techniques.
