"To goad have to fight in the Plaza Mexico" and, as the bullfighters, also painters. It is in Mexico City where they value their work, where they are open spaces and provides recognition for the artwork. This is where you can find your market. Because even though Jalisco is a state that gives, "has given a lot, both musicians, poets and painters, and is hotbed of artists or radiologia , it is also true that in this state is not recognized culture" Guadalajara painter Mario Martin del Campo spoke convinced, even regretted it. He recalled his teens, when he had to leave here, when you defined the plastic as its future path and reached the San Carlos School. Since then spends more than eight hours a day to work, which confronts not only nationally but also internationally. And now, after more than 20 years when he decided to return to Guadalajara fully satisfied, maybe not his first exhibition, but with the larger sample, more than 100 of his pieces on display at the Museum of Arts. Prelude Interior, is for him a dream that always carries a deep touch to your pride, "the greatest honor of his countrymen," his way of showing that the creators tapatíos they can get ahead and artistic class. However, Martin del Campo insisted that in order for any artist Jalisco excels, it is necessary to seek recognition outside his homeland, because unfortunately in the state, either by political systems or the same idiosyncrasies of its citizens, who are divided between religious fanaticism and Chivas-Atlas parties, not cultural values what is being done in their environment and not only that, but they even ignore the great creators. "Orozco is the greatest national painter we have and there are people here in Guadalajara who never in his life has stopped at the Hospicio Cabañas to see his murals, really amazing". The artist blamed it mainly to the Ministry of Education where education whose owners confused culture, aspects that ultimately are different and both should be encouraged. But what is even more surprised that this poor conceptualization occurs even at university, "There to guiding those who do not like the culture, how could this happen in Guadalajara?". About his work, Mario Martin del Campo considered to belong to the current of "fantastic realism". Paintings and drawings where they play, mutants, between insects, animals and humans, sharing space with chimeric airships, magic items and mythological musical instruments. Where are varied textures and strokes and sculptural forms. For the artist, were the Flemish painters who influenced him as well as others of his generation as Artemio Sepúlveda, Rafael Coronel or José Luis Cuevas. However, he feels particularly as a greater attachment to the Bosco and Leonardo Da Vinci. About pictorial work that takes place in Jalisco, Mario Martin del Campo, said: "I think there's a very strong group of young painters in Guadalajara that are at the forefront nationally and even internationally, and also have the characteristic of that while other states of the country all the work looks like, here is a great diversity of ideas that are totally different. Prefer not to name names because Mario Martin del Campo think your work belongs to the stream of "fantastic realism" want do less to none in the radiografias"
