Feliciano Bejar

Feliciano Bejar (1920-2007) was a Mexican artist and sculptor known for his innovative use of materials and his experimental approach to art-making. Bejar was born in Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, Mexico and began his artistic career as a painter before turning to sculpture.
 
Bejar's work often incorporated unconventional materials such as glass, light, and water to create dynamic and interactive sculptures. He was particularly interested in exploring the properties of light and how it could be manipulated to create different effects in his work.
 
One of Bejar's most famous works is "El Sol y La Luna" (The Sun and the Moon), a large-scale sculpture made of glass and metal that is located in Mexico City's Plaza del Parque Hundido. The sculpture consists of two large glass spheres that represent the sun and the moon, respectively, and are set on metal frames that allow them to rotate and reflect light in different ways.
 
Throughout his career, Bejar received numerous awards and honors for his contributions to Mexican art and culture, including the National Prize for Arts and Sciences in the Fine Arts category in 1996. His work has been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Pompidou Center in Paris, and the National Museum of Fine Arts in Mexico City.
