Julián Martínez Soto

Julián Martínez Soto (1921 – May 23, 2000), was a Spanish-born Mexican sculptor and painter. He created more than 200 sculptures in Spain, Italy, Mexico, and the United States. Soto left Spain and arrived in Mexico in June 1937 with the Niños de Morelia (English: Children of Morelia), a group of children of Spanish Republicans, intending to visit while the Spanish Civil War was ending. His family name is sometimes written as Soros, or Sotos due to journalistic and bibliographic errors.
