He was part of the Mexican muralism movement in subject matter but less so in style, favoring first a figurative narrative style, then a non-figurative, geometric style. Mérida was one of a number of artists such as Diego Rivera and Gerardo Murillo who became committed to promoting the handcrafts and folk art of Mexico and Central America, with a particular interest in those of Guatemala, often featuring Mayan textiles or elements in their decoration in his artwork.
