Catherine, Great recommendation from Helen on Sebastian. I saw some of his work in El Paso in 2016 and the museum curator there who gave me a tour of his sculpture and maquette exhibit said his foundation funded both the exhibit and accompanying book. There are a few of his monumentals in Juarez, Mx. and El Paso, Tx. on a scale that can be seen for some distance. J Hayes
I recommend Sebastian (born Enrique Carbajal) , a wonderful monumental sculptor based in Chihuahua. I first worked with him in New York City in the early 90s.

He has mounted numerous museum shows, received national recognition and international commissions, and started a cultural foundation to promote 'Mexican cultural values, especially in the arts.' He promotes other artists and diverse art
forms including preservation of lost techniques.
If his artwork doesn't appeal to your client, or is too expensive, he and his staff will likely help you find Mexican artists appropriate for your project.
She was lovely to work with. I also received about $250K from The National Council for Culture and Arts (Conaculta) in Mexico City to commission the work and gift the work to other
cities within the US.
We have a developer interested in working with a public artist residing in or from Mexico. The artist should be well-established with a strong resume including work in museum, private,
and public collections. They are seeking a style that is not in the context of craft or folk-art and can integrate into a contemporary streetscape.
