Born and raised in Santa Fe, NM, Frederico Vigil grew up inspired by the rich history that has become the trademark of his art. He spent close to a decade on this monumental, 4,000 square foot work. Vigil first became involved with the ancient art of fresco during a visit and internship in the 1970s with Lucienne Bloch and Stephen Pope Dimitroff, who were apprentices to Diego Rivera.
