Although Sergio Bustamante was born in Sinaloa towards the north of the country, he studied at the university in Guadalajara which allowed him to maintain a unique connection to the state of Jalisco. He is one of the best known Mexican artists worldwide, thanks to his characteristic style with representations of suns, moons, fish, mermaids and other types of mythical creatures. In his gallery you will find sculptures, jewelry and furniture - however he is most recognized for his sculpture "in search of reason", which can be found on the Malecon in downtown Vallarta. It’s easy to spot as the sculpture is over 30ft tall and resembles a ladder rising up into the sky.
