A student of graphic design, Amador Montes devotes himself to painting as a fundamental way of expression. Montes is also and illustrator, photographer and textile designer and belongs to the next generation of Mexican artists. His artwork has been exhibited in countries such as Canada, Spain and South Korea., and is collected worldwide.
