Francisco ZĂșñiga, one of Costa Rica and Mexicoâs most prominent artists, was a prolific and illustrious draftsman and sculptor. As an apprentice to his father, a sculptor of religious statues, ZĂșñiga was exposed to art at a very young age and went on to study drawing at the School of Fine Arts in San JosĂ©. Though he attempted to study art in Europe in 1936, the Spanish Civil War blocked ZĂșñigaâs plans. He instead went to Mexico, where he studied under Manuel RodrĂguez Lozano. Though heavily influenced by the Renaissance, he also often incorporated pre-Columbian motifs into his works. The subjects of ZĂșñigaâs works are almost exclusively female figures, often representing womenâs powerful strengths as matriarchs. Through his masterful technique he stated, restated and recapitulated the representational figurative narrative of the feminine. Created with line, mass and volume, ZĂșñigaâs works move toward a universal interpretation of womanhood. ZĂșñiga described his work as âa continuous representation of femininityâ and, like no other artist, he has captured and characterized the archetype of the woman of Southeastern Mexico. Francisco ZĂșñiga leaves behind an extensive legacy. His works are held in major museums throughout the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City.
