Peace & Love ... and Humor

Felipe Galindo, widely known as “Feggo,” has been creating humorous images for nearly five decades. He works across cartoons, illustration, animation, fine art, and public art. In New York City’s transit system, his mosaic Magic Realism in Kingsbridge can be seen at the 231st Street Station on the 1 train, where it is viewed by thousands of commuters each day.

Born in Mexico City and based in New York, Galindo has built an international career grounded in the belief that humor is a powerful, universal language. His work blends whimsy with social commentary, and is always humane. He often presents his images without captions, allowing them to cross language barriers and connect with a wide range of viewers.

When asked where his ideas come from, Galindo answers simply: “Everything inspires me - nature, people, animals, cities, food, cars, planes, insects, clouds - you name it!” His curiosity about the world fuels artwork that is playful, thoughtful, and lighthearted.

Galindo draws inspiration from world cultures and history, often weaving them together. In projects such as Manhatitlan, he explores the dialogue between Mexican and American identities. In works like George Washington Returns to New York City, Frida Kahlo in New York, and Taking Liberties - featuring the Statue of Liberty - he reflects on history, migration, and cultural exchange through his insightful humor.
