He did monumental works such as murals and sculptures , with one of the first a mural with Roberto Montenegro in 1934 . These works can be found at universities , government buildings and private homes . From 1951 to the early 1960s , he devoted most of his time painting murals in private homes , with a number of these since acquired by the government of Nuevo León . In the 1950s , he created a mural at the headquarters of the Instituto Mexicano de Seguro Social in Mexico City called '' Las Enseñanzas de Quetzalcoatl '' and another called '' Maternidad Yacente '' . The first was damaged by the 1985 Mexico City earthquake , and was repaired by his son , Cantu Fabila and his wife Elsa . In 1958 he sculpted two stone slabs for the exterior of the Unidad Independencia theater in Mexico City . However , the day after they were finished , they were robbed . A similar fate happened to one of the copies of the IMSS emblem . He created a low relief called '' El Flechador del sol '' in 1961 on the Sierra Madre along the highway between Linares and Galeana in the municipality of Iturbide , Nuevo León . However , this work crumbled in 2002 , with recovered pieces now on display at a site museum . His last monument was designed in 1988 , and was dedicated to Alfonso Reyes . One notable mural is '' Los informantes de Sahagún '' at the former monastery of San Diego , which was the site of the Pinacoteca Virreinal in Mexico City . He also created a mural dedicated to Greek myth at the Philosophy and Letters department of the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León . He also created murals for a church in San Miguel Allende but they were defaced due to a dispute between the artist the institution over how the characters were portrayed
