Through his practice, Andrik Figueroa Noble continues to challenge the boundaries between street art and established art institutions, establishing himself as a key figure in the contemporary Mexican muralism scene.
Mexican muralist Andrik Figueroa created a massive Star Wars Stormtrooper on the hotel's rooftop.
Many of the artworks, murals, and interventions that have shaped the hotel over the years were never intended to exist forever. As artists arrive, spaces evolve, and new conversations emerge, certain works transform, disappear, or make room for new interventions.This constant evolution is central to El Ganzo’s identity. The hotel experienced today is not the same one that existed six months ago, nor the one that will exist six months from now. Through change, the space remains alive, continuously shaped by the artists, musicians, and communities that pass through it.The works featured in this archive are no longer physically on view, but they remain an essential part of El Ganzo’s artistic legacy and ongoing cultural history.
