Best Answer

From his early childhood, Diego Rivera began to paint; his parents encouraged him to continue and perfect his technique. There is an urban legend that says his parents caught him painting on the walls of his house to express his pain, after his twin brother died at the age of three. Instead of punishing him, they installed blackboards and canvases on the walls for him to use.
