Alejandro Colunga

In the plaza in front of the Instituto de Cabañas are these sculptures by contemporary Mexican artist, Alejandreo Colunga. He was born in Guadalajara in 1948 and studied architecture between 1967 and 1971 and music and hospitality in 1971–1973 at Conservatorio del Estado de Jalisco. Colunga's painting and sculpting abilities were self-taught. He has also extensively studied anthropology, and languages.

Jose Clemente Orozco

José Clemente Orozco (November 23, 1883 – September 7, 1949) was a Mexican painter, who specialized in bold murals that established the Mexican Mural Renaissance together with murals by Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and others. Orozco was the most complex of the Mexican muralists, fond of the theme of human suffering, but less realistic and more fascinated by machines than Rivera.

These paintings adorn the ceilings and walls of the Governors Palace and the Instituto Cultural Cabañas
