ISTMICA149642021-01-12T17:44:39Z In Memoriam Francisco Munguía Villalta (1976- 2020) The art of being with people In Memoriam Francisco Munguía Villalta (1976-2020) El arte de estar con la gente Collado Chaves, Adriana Francisco Munguía, Costa Rican art, graphic humor, muralism, community Francisco Munguía, arte costarricense, humor gráfico, muralismo, comunidad Francisco Munguía Villalta (1976-2020) was a talented, highly productive and multifaceted Costa Rican artist. He produced a vast work, in different formats and techniques. He believed in the transforming power of art and consequently produced a socially committed work guided by the conviction that art should be accessible, inclusive, participatory and educational. He developed a plastic language anchored in his vocation of graphic humor. This, together with his fondness for social volunteering and community work, allowed him to establish easy links of communication and an extraordinary familiarity with people. Its iconographic universe of comic strip and its narrative full of parody and satire lives in his stickers, ceramics and paintings. His mural works managed not only to change the urban landscape, but also to reaffirm a sense of community, since his participatory methodology aspired to restore the power of people and to enable them to take over their own public spaces. Without delving into a chronological review of the artist’s journey, nor a logical analysis of his extensive production, this document shares an overview of aspects that are considered emblematic in the work of Munguía Villalta. This is a tribute to his memory and a celebration of the vitality of his extraordinary plastic legacy. Francisco Munguía Villalta (1976-2020) fue un talentoso, prolijo y multifacético artista costarricense. Produjo una obra vastísima, en distintos formatos y técnicas. Creía en el poder transformador del arte y en consecuencia produjo una obra socialmente comprometida y guiada por la convicción de que el arte debía ser accesible, integrador, participativo y didáctico. Desarrolló un lenguaje plástico anclado en su vocación de humorista gráfico, y ello junto a su afición por el voluntariado y el trabajo comunitario, le permitieron establecer nexos comunicativos de extraordinaria familiaridad con la gente. Su universo iconográfico de tira cómica y su narrativa llena de parodia y sátira, transitaba entre calcomanías, cerámicas y pinturas. Sus obras murales lograron no solo cambiar el paisaje urbano, sino además reafirmar el sentido de comunidad, pues su metodología participativa aspiraba a restituir el poder de personas y colectivos para adueñarse de sus propios espacios públicos. Sin ahondar en una revisión cronológica del recorrido del artista, ni en un análisis lógico de su amplia producción, este documento comparte una mirada general a aspectos que se consideran emblemáticos de la obra de Munguía Villalta; se rinde homenaje a su memoria y se celebra la vitalidad del extraordinario legado plástico que nos dejó.
