In this Cracks Podcast episode, Oaxacan artist Amador Montes shares his personal journey and artistic philosophy while host Oso Trava highlights his international achievements. Montes recounts his father's disbelief when he declared himself a painter, his early realization that his drawings need not follow logical reason, and his commitment to fantastical, irrational imagery. He describes his constant habit of carrying a sketchbook and using drawing to alleviate anxiety, expressing a lifelong wish to keep painting until his death. Montes also reveals personal aspirations—a small adobe house with a red door—and offers advice that some works should never leave the studio. Oso Trava enumerates Montes' global presence: works in collections across England, Spain, Korea, and the UAE; exhibitions at the Palacio de Bellas Artes and the UN in New York; inclusion in Forbes' 100 most creative Mexicans; murals at major stadiums; participation in Paris Fashion Week; and collaborations with high‑profile brands such as Glace Azul tequila and mezcal. The conversation blends intimate anecdotes with a catalog of professional milestones, illustrating how Montes' personal ethos intertwines with his worldwide cultural impact.
