Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Manuel Felguérez ma ka mahiʻai ʻo San Agustín del Vergel, ma Valparaíso, Zacatecas. I ka 1928 aia nā manawa pilikia loa, i kekahi mau makahiki ma mua o ka pau ʻana o ka neʻe kaua, akā ʻaʻole paʻa ka noho ʻana o ka ʻāina a hoʻolaha nā kuleana agrarian i loko o ka ʻāina.
"Ua kauoha aku koʻu makuakāne i kekahi mau pūʻali e pale aku i ka hacienda, ʻoiai ua koi ka poʻe mahiʻai i ka ʻāina ma nā hana kolohe. ʻO kekahi o kaʻu mau hoʻomanaʻo mua ʻana he mau kaua pū ma waena o nā pūʻali 'kūpaʻa' o ka hacienda a me nā agraristas. "
No nā kumu palekana, ua neʻe ka ʻohana i ke kapitala a ua hoʻāʻo kona makuakāne e kūkākūkā i nā palapala hoʻopaʻa ʻai ʻo Agrarian, akā i ka makahiki aʻe ua make ʻo ia. “He ʻehiku oʻu makahiki, ʻaʻole makemake koʻu makuahine e hoʻi a haʻalele i ka mahiʻai. Ua hoʻi au i Valparaíso kanaono makahiki ma hope mai no ka mea ua hoʻolilo lākou iaʻu i keiki punahele na ia wahi a ua hāʻawi lākou i ka hale o ka moʻomeheu i koʻu inoa. Inā ʻaʻole wau i hoʻi hou ma mua, no ka mea ua haʻi mau koʻu makuahine iaʻu: 'mai hele i Valparaíso no ka mea e pepehi lākou iā ʻoe.'
Ua mālama ʻia nā ʻike mua, kula kiʻekiʻe a hoʻomākaukau hoʻi me nā Kaikuaana Marist. I ka makahiki 1947, ua huakaʻi ʻo ia i kahi hui o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ma Palani. "I loko o kēlā hālāwai ua kipa mākou i nā ʻāina he nui a i ka hopena o kaʻu huakaʻi ua hoʻoholo wau e hoʻolaʻa iaʻu iho i ke ʻano he ʻano o ke ola."
I kona hoʻi ʻana i Mekiko ua komo ʻo ia i ka Academia de San Carlos, akā ʻaʻole ʻo ia i makemake i ke ʻano aʻo a hoʻi ʻo ia i Palisa e aʻo ai ma ka Grande Chaumiere, kahi i hoʻokipa ʻia ai ʻo ia e ka sculptor cubist Zadquine ma ke ʻano he haumāna. Ma laila ʻo ia i hui ai me ka mea pena kiʻi ʻo Lilia Carrillo, ka mea āna i male ai ma hope.
ʻO Taxidermist, anthropologist e pono ai, limahana, mea huakaʻi, mea noiʻi a me kumu, ʻo Felguérez ka mea mua o nā keiki āpau i ʻike i ka honua i kēlā me kēia lā a ʻiʻini nui i nā manaʻo, pāʻani me nā mea, hemo a kau, nā mea kaua a me nā disarms e ʻimi nei i kāna ʻōpū no ka mea huna. o ka nani o nā ʻano. ʻO kāna noho ʻEulopa e alakaʻi iā ia i ka abstractionism a ma hope i ka geometrism i kāna ʻano kumu: ka pōʻai, ka triangle, ka huinaha a me ka square; Ma ka hoʻohui ʻana iā lākou, e hoʻomohala ʻoe i kāu ʻōlelo ponoʻī.
I nā makahiki kanaono, hana ʻo Felguérez ma kahi o kanakolu mural e pili ana i nā mea kōkua me ka hao nui, nā pōhaku, ke one, a me nā pūpū. Aia ma waena o lākou ka hale kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo "Diana" a me ka spa "Bahía". "ʻO kaʻu ʻōnaehana ia o ka hoʻolaha ʻana iaʻu iho a hōʻike iaʻu iho. Ua kauoha wau i ka palena iki, he aha ka mea e ola ai. I ka hopena ua pani wau i ka hale hana a hoʻi wau i ka laina, akā ua ʻike ʻia wau ma ka pae ʻāina a me ka honua a ʻokoʻa loa nā mea āpau. "
"ʻAʻole au i manaʻo e ola i nā mea noʻeau, hana wau i kahi aʻo ola. He kumu wau ma ke Kulanui a ua hoʻomaha wau i kēia manawa. ʻAʻole wau i makemake e pili ana i ke kūʻai aku. He mea kaumaha loa ke kūʻai aku ʻana i kā mākou hana iho: pena wau a pena a pena ʻia nā kiʻi. "
Alakaʻi kēia iā ia e kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike o Abstract Art e hāpai ana i kona inoa a i hoʻokumu ʻia i ka makahiki 1998 ma ke kūlanakauhale o Zacatecas: mālama ia ”. Ma 1997, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Felguérez a me kāna wahine ʻo Mercedes e hāʻawi i kahi hōʻiliʻili koʻikoʻi o kā lākou hana no ka hana ʻana i kahi hale hōʻikeʻike. Me ke komo ʻana o ke aupuni o ka mokuʻāina ʻo Zacatecas, kahi i hoʻonohonoho ai i kahi hale ma mua he seminare a ma hope he hale kaua a me kahi penitentiary, ua hoʻomaka ka hana hou e hoʻopili iā ia i kāna mau hana hou ma ke ʻano he hale hōʻikeʻike kiʻi.
Hoʻokumu ʻia ka hōʻiliʻili i nā hana he 100 e ka mea pena kiʻi, e kīʻaha ana i nā ʻanuʻu like ʻole o kāna hana lōʻihi, a me nā hana e ʻoi aku ma mua o 110 mau mea kiʻi kiʻi ʻole, lahui a me nā haole. He kū hoʻokahi kēia hale hōʻikeʻike ma kāna ʻano ma muli o kāna kumuhana kumuhana a me ke koho ikaika ʻana o nā hana e hōʻike ʻia.
ʻO ka momi e kalaunu ana i ka hale hōʻikeʻike ʻo ia ʻo Osaka Mural Room. "Ke hana nei i ka hoʻihoʻi hou, loaʻa iā mākou kahi ākea nui loa, kahi lumi o 900 mika mika paha, a ma laila i manaʻo ʻia ai mākou e kau i nā murala nui he ʻumikūmākahi i hana ʻia ma ke noi a Fernando Gamboa no ka Pavilion ʻo Mexico ma ka Osaka 70 World Exposition."
He mau makahiki ma hope o ka pena ʻia ʻana, ua hōʻuluʻulu ʻia kēia mau mural a hōʻike like ʻia no ka manawa mua ma Mekiko i kahi lumi o ka hale hōʻikeʻike i lilo i "Sistine Chapel o Mekiko Abstract Art."
