Pedro Nel Gómez Murals

Pedro Nel Gómez Murals form a street-level fresco cycle painted in 1935–38 for Medellín’s Banco Popular building, lining the passage between Plazuela Nutibara and Parque de Berrío. Nel Gómez turns a bank corridor into a civic chronicle: miners, peasants, and Indigenous memory share space with myth and wounded landscapes, weighing prosperity against loss. In the heart of El Centro, the murals remain one of Antioquia’s clearest visual arguments about labor, identity, and the cost of modernization.
