Biography: Born in Oaxaca in 1925, Rodolfo Morales was a shy, modest and silent young man, far from social interests and a lover of his land, an intelligent and wise village with artistic gifts. He was the son of a carpenter and a teacher of school that mounted theater. Morales arrived in Mexico City in 1948 to enter the Academy of San Carlos. However, after the great acceptance of his first exhibitions, he had the opportunity to travel around the world, visiting museums and taking courses. On his return to his homeland he began to work ceaselessly in the creation of works, some of them influenced by his travels and life experiences. For example, he made all kinds of playful objects, using different types of papers, cloth and paintings, as his mother did. Over time his style matured and without abandoning his roots of Oaxacan popular art, he made several works with different elements to create the closest to a craft, a testimonial result of the creative and imaginative sensibility of our peoples. He is known as "The Lord of Dreams".
