 Though unschooled in any formal setting, Abraham Salazar has studied art and executes pastoral scenes of Mexican campesino (peasant) life that are outstanding examples of the form.With his brother Roberto Mauricio Salazar, and Felix Camilo Ayala, Juan Camilo Ayala, he formed a cooperative.While many in the tradition never became known for their works, Salazar was the 
subject of a seminal (now out-of-print) book on the high-quality papel amate 
paintings of the Nahuatl.
