B. 1941 - In 1964 Byron Galvez assembled his first individual exhibit and since then has had over 60 in different venues in Mexico and various cities in the United States, Europe and Latin-America. His work has also been part of innumerable collective exhibits. A singular moment occurred when, being very young, the famous American actor Vincent Price bought every work of his first individual exhibit. In order for the show to go on, the artist showed his amazing creative capacity and in a week created 45 new pieces. Astounded at Byron Gálvez's work, Price called him a "Mexican Picasso". Since then, he has been presented with over 15 awards and honorary tributes recognizing his vast and diverse work. Throughout his intense career as a plastic artist he participated in special programs filmed for the Office of Radio, Television and Cinematography. Traveling many times to the European continent and visiting the most important museums of the old world has been instrumental in the development of Byron Gálvez's plastic schooling, he considers this activity an unavoidable formative experience it the growth of an artist.
