Diego
Marķa de la Rivera y Barrientos and his twin brother Carlos
were born on December 13, 1886 in Leon, Guanajuato. Carlos
died in 1888, which left Diego as an only child. Since
he was very young (he begins to draw at the age of three),
he loved to paint, so much that his father covered a room
of their house in Guanajuato with paper so that the child
could paint all over the walls.
Diego says that it was in that room where he created his
first murals. Diego Rivera is thought of as the creator
of the Mexican identity. Diego Rivera's murals have created
a visual memory of Mexico's historic past and have helped
understand and respect Mexican nationality. The history
of Mexico is full of living images, with the bright colors
of Diego Rivera. Memories are accompanied with feelings
of pain, pride and magic that come directly from the emotions
represented in the Diego's work. Thanks to Diego Rivera's
murals people can naturally recall the history of Mexico.
