An art that tells a story...

That is the truth about Diego Rivera's artwork. He is said to have changed the course of a nation's art. In this case that nation is Mexico.

a painting by Diego RiveraHave YOU ever wondered about Diego Rivera? Most people remember him as Frida Kahlo's husband and their extremely difficult relationship. But that is not the only thing he should be known for. He had a past and everything from his past built him to be the man he lived to be. Diego Rivera had a very hard life. He was born in 1886 and saw things in a different way from everybody else. He wanted to stand out. He began to study art at the age of ten. His father wanted the best for him which led him to his many journeys around the world. He was sent everywhere to study and improve his work; from places like Spain to United States.

This page will include his biography since he was born to his very last day. Also it will include his most important dates in his artistic life even when he had problems being a Communist and also about his many spouses. And last but not least it will include his best artwork especially his murals, which is what he was known for.



For those who did not know, Diego Rivera was married to Frida Kahlo ( for more information for Friday Kahlo, click here ) and they struggled a lot with their relationship.
