About Citlaltzin
Hi everyone, I was born in Mexico City and I really love my country. I`m a huge fan of mexican painters like Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo, of course Frida Khalo and Diego Rivera, I like very much how they express their feelings through their paints. I also like muralists like David Alfaro Siqueiros or Rufino Tamayo, Mexico has beautiful historical buildings with their murals and we can visit some of this for free. On my free time I like to walk with my dog or visit nearby towns and walk among their streets. I`m an International trade student and I work on my own. I belive Mexico is great and its people too so whenever I have the oportunity I try to know new people and new places.
