TOMAS PINEDA MATUS

Oriundo de Chicapa de Castro, Juchitán, a los 16 años ya hacía retratos y los vendía. En su iconografía abundan caballos, rostros de mujeres, peces, caracoles, vegetación. Pero el toro es su personaje más recurrente, pues creció en el campo ayudándole a su padre, domador de toros.

Tomás Pineda Matus estudió diseño, disciplina en la que es docente en la Universidad Mesoamericana de Oaxaca. Su formación artística la inició en el taller de Artes Plásticas del Instituto Tecnológico del Istmo y en el Taller de Artes Plásticas Rufino Tamayo.

Aprendió de Shinzaburo Takeda, Juan Alcázar, Antonio Pérez y Charles Barth. En la década de 1990 estudió pintura avanzada con Luis Nishazawa, en Guanajuato, luego litografía en La Habana y cerámica en Guantánamo. Hizo una residencia artística en el Lafayette College de Pensilvania. 

Sus pinturas, esculturas, cerámica, acuarela y acrílico han sido expuestas en México y en el extranjero, en ciudades como Osaka, Fukuoka, Nueva York, La Habana y Punta del Este.
