Arturo Souto Feijoo arrived in Mexico in 1942 in one of the first contingents of Spaniards who had been fleeing from the Second World War.

Arturo Souto was already an adult when he arrived in America, so his migratory experiences were more determinant in his production than the Mexican influence. The group of exiled artists is known as the "mature generation" and Arturo Souto was a prominent figure within this contingent of painters.

During his stay in Mexico, he had several pictorial phases, part of them was to neutralize his palette of color and learn about muralism. However, he was always capable of capturing all kinds of environments, painting both still life's, nude's, portraits and free compositions, such as meadows and forests.

In 1962 he returned to Spain and after remaining two years, he traveled back to Mexico to finalize his projects. less
