Artist Creates Stunning Drawings and Street Art Murals Rooted in Mexican and Indigenous Traditions

Mazatl is a contemporary Mexican artist and printmaker known for powerful relief prints, murals, and installations that center on nature, animals, ancestry, and collective liberation.

Working mainly with large woodcut prints and graphic murals in public space, he uses bold black‑and‑white imagery, symbolism, and myth to speak about land, death, memory, and resistance, often in collaboration with social, environmental, and political movements. Mazatl lives in Chiapas, is a member of the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative and APC (Animal Power Crew), and treats animals as spiritual beings and allies, weaving Mesoamerican references, Day of the Dead imagery, and esoteric signs into narratives about heritage, cycles of life, and freedom from domination.
