Michel Maugée

A “béqué” – creole from the Martinique French island – Michel Maugée arrived in Mérida in 1993, after spending 2 years in Northern Mexico town of Tierras Negras, Coahuila.

Nowadays, Merida being his main inspiration – a subject he reproduces with such a delightful lightness – that he is considered as a true Yucatan artist.

His body of work reflects the core of the Yucatan life-style and society in a very peculiar style.
