A arte is one of the most refined manifestations of a culture. It represents the worldview, the ideology, and the way of seeing life of those who create it. Each artwork is exposed to thousands of subjective interpretations by the audience, and this characteristic is what makes artistic phenomena completely captivating. Inspiration is the surge of creativity that any artist must have to execute a work. What inspires them? Struggle, work, effort, divinity, love, the landscape, traditions; in short, the sensations generated by a “here and now.”

The artists of Puerto Vallarta are fortunate to live in a city full of natural charms, stories of pirates, and unrequited loves that become the best source of inspiration. How could this city not become one of the most important artistic hubs in Jalisco?

Among brushes, pencils, and aerosols, discover the original artistic variety of Puerto Vallarta! To take the first step into this facet of Jalisco’s culture, there’s nothing better than visiting the Malecon. Why? Because it is filled with fascinating sculptures that are the greatest testament to the artistic originality of the people of Puerto Vallarta. The Unicorn of Good Fortune by Aníbal Riebeling, Triton and Nereid by Carlos Espino, The Rotunda of the Sea by Alejandro Colunga, In Search of Reason by Sergio Bustamante, and The Seahorse by Rafael Zamarripa are only a few of the most wonderful sculptures that adorn the Malecon.

This coastal promenade of Puerto Vallarta, which offers the best views of the Pacific Ocean, is also a meeting place for street artists. Inspired by the most beautiful in the world, including the role of the most exotic natural postcards of the Mexican Pacific coast; their works are also dressed in everyday stories, such as the typical port scenes at sunrise and couples in love walking hand in hand among the palm trees of the Malecon.

The Art Walk must be the second stop for those who want to immerse themselves in the culture. Walking through the cobblestone streets, where one can observe the lush vegetation of the Sierra Madre, and delight in the best fine artworks of the most controversial Mexican artists makes for a perfect sunset plan in Puerto Vallarta. Some of the most well-known galleries are Arte de las Américas, which showcases works by the most renowned Mexican artists in the world; Seahorse, which reflects the culture of traditional Mexico; Corsica Art Gallery, which offers a tour of the highest caliber contemporary works; and Galeria A. L (Latin American Art), which features a rich collection of artists such as Marta Gilbert and Fernando Sánchez.

The artistic variety of the port also includes works by the Huichol tribes. This small civilization has preserved its beliefs and way of life despite the advances of modernity. And one of the best ways to immerse yourself in their idiosyncrasy is to understand their art. Where? At Tlaquepaque Pottery and Magical Huichol Art.

Let yourself be seduced by the artistic variety of a refined Mexican people; enjoy the art in Puerto Vallarta!
