Humberto Espino de Hombre is a visual and tattoo artist from Mexico. He studied Fine Arts at Universidad Veracruzana, specializing in traditional printmaking techniques. He refined his craft under the guidance of Daniel Barraza, one of the country’s foremost printers, and learned silkscreen printing alongside artist Luis Enrique Gutiérrez Ortiz Monasterio in Zoncuantla, Veracruz. He has worked in renowned print workshops such as La Ceiba Gráfica and La Huella Gráfica in Oaxaca City. He currently directs the silkscreen workshop El Obscuro 6r6fic6 in Xalapa, Veracruz, which he founded.

His artistic influences include the medieval engravings of Lucas Cranach the Elder, the work of Japanese artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi, and the prints of Albrecht Dürer. Through his work, Espino seeks to subvert conventional symbolic orders, exploring complex themes such as religion, magic, the occult, astrology, transpersonal psychology, and the evolution and regression of societies as a lens to understand human experience. By interweaving archetypes, symbols, and layered visual references, he creates evocative codes that push the boundaries of both conscious and subconscious perception. His intricate visual language is often associated with horror vacui and a sustained inquiry into what has historically been repressed.

Espino held his first solo exhibition, Crematorio Clouds, at Museo de Sitio Casa Juárez in Oaxaca City. He has also participated in group exhibitions such as Viva la Revolución Gráfica by the French collective Le Dernier Cri at Friche la Belle de Mai in Marseille, France. His work has been selected twice for the Bienal Shinzaburo Takeda in Oaxaca and for the Bienal Internacional de Estampa José Guadalupe Posada in Aguascalientes, Mexico.
