Farid Rueda
Prolific street artist Farid Rueda is well-known for his kaleidoscopic artworks of animals that litter the streets of the Mexican capital and the markets of Paris. Attention to detail and a hint of the fantastic are his trademarks across pretty much all of the towering mural-sized pieces he produces, as is an often-underlying social commentary on politics and indigenous peoples. Aside from Mexico City, his pieces have also brightened up the streets of Bogotá to Hannover, to name but a few locations.
