This rich past, in combination with European and Asian influences have made Mexican Crafts unique. Many of these artists have been hypnotized by the greatness of their Mexican heritage. These individuals have contributed immensely to Mexico's art and culture. Among these individuals we have artists like the great muralist Diego Rivera, who concentrated his efforts on Mexican themes of history and culture, such as Pre-Colombian history as well as the Mexican Revolution.
