Gabriel Flores (February 9, 1930 – December 14, 1993) was a prominent Mexican painter and muralist born in Guadalajara, Jalisco.
Between 1956 and 1993, his murals focused on historical and universal themes, as well as the ability of art functioning as social commentary.
In the 1960s, at the height of his career, he created his magnum opus Los Niños Héroes, depicting the sacrifice of six child soldiers during the Mexican-American War.
Gabriel Flores described himself, saying "I do not want much; I have what I like, above all my freedom."
