Lilia Carrillo García (2 November 1930 – 6 June 1974) was a Mexican painter from the Generación de la Ruptura, which broke with the Mexican School of Painting of the early 20th century.
She was trained in the traditional style but her work began to evolve away from it after studying in Paris in the 1950s.
While she and husband abstract artist Manuel Felguérez struggled to get their work accepted, even selling Mexican handcrafts and folk art to survive, she eventually had her canvas work exhibited large venues in Mexico City and various cities in the world.
Her work was part of the inaugural exhibition of the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City in 1964.
After her death in 1974, her work received honors from the Palacio de Bellas Artes and has been exhibited in various venues.
