Mexico is considered worldwide as a country that has an enormous natural wealth, since it has the most diverse range of vegetation in the world. The state of Oaxaca is considered the most diverse biological species nationally, it houses approximately 30,000 plants representing approximately 5% of the total flora of the planet. Here we find one of the richest areas of plant and animal species at the national level, with a very important ecosystem diversity, as holds seven of the nine types of terrestrial vegetation of the country: the Sierra Juarez. Another no less important riches are its forests, which still have large tracts of forest areas where we can find many timber species such as cedar, mahogany and oak among others. There is a forest that is completely unspoilt parts and is a national ecological diversity that we cherish and value: The forest of Chimalapas. Art lives in the veins of Oaxaca and its history is reflected in the work of the great contemporary painters and artisans' creations. Rufino Tamayo, Francisco Toledo and Rodolfo Morales Oaxaca are the big names of modern painting. Tamayo was born in Oaxaca, Mexico, and lived in New York, and is considered one of the greatest Mexican artists of this century. Morales, "builder peoples," as he defined Carlos Monsivais, born in Ocotlan, traveled with exhibitions throughout Europe and the rest of America and eventually returned to Ocotlan, which has given rise to a fascinating pictorial production, unique and universal. Juchitán was born in Toledo, was formed in Paris and, like Morales, soon missed the magic of Oaxaca and returned to the capital, having exhibited worldwide and his powerful poetic imagination. Many other young Oaxacan painters have followed the trail of those and explore with their works, landscape, traditions, myths and Oaxacan stones, while revealing their affinity for American or European avant defining part of its forms or styles. But in general, they all share a clear pride in their heritage, to represent the history in another time and another place, to express "the appearance of the invisible" as coined by the Mexican writer Juan Garcia Ponce. Much of the work of these new artists and great Oaxacan painters mentioned is exhibited in the capital, Oaxaca, in museums that is not difficult to meet designers and artists from around the world who come to the land of light and magic to be inspired by the treasures of Monte Alban, handicrafts or Arrazola Ocotlán or canvases called "magic surrealism" Oaxaca.
