“I want to use my art as a weapon for the people, as a mirror where they can see their own strength.”
— Diego Rivera
Diego Rivera believed art should serve the people, not collectors. His massive murals in public buildings were designed so that anyone — workers, farmers, children — could see their own story reflected in beauty.
I painted on walls, not canvases, because art belongs to everyone. The rich tried to control my brush, but you cannot cage a mural. Whatever you create — make it for the people who need it most, not the ones who can pay the most.
