David Tineo is a globally recognized painter and muralist whose bold, colorful works bring the myths, legends and history of the American southwest to life. His canvases are brilliant. The figures in his paintings are larger than life. From his brush come stories that embrace traditional Mexican folktales, the spiritual truths behind them, and unique perspectives on the paradox of Mexican-American identity in the United States. There is more to David Tineo’s artwork than can be seen by the naked eye. We know this simply because the artist himself cannot see his work. David Tineo is blind, and has been so for the last ten years. Though his career as a teacher was cut short by macular degeneration that in 2004 came from nowhere and left him legally blind, it could not stop him from being an artist.
