Thanks for your reply. Does this sound better?

Mi favorito muralista de mexicano es Diego Rivera. Me gusta Rivera porque su arte captura el momento y es muy tradicional.

Words were rearranged by chileno which you've put back the way they were. Try the first sentence once again.

How is this?
Mi muralista favorito de mexicano es Diego Rivera. Me gusta Rivera porque su arte captura el momento y es muy tradicional.

[Rusty]

Better, but there is still an extra word in there.

Better, but there is still an extra word in there.
Muralista favorito de mexicano es Diego Rivera.

Nope, you still want the determiner 'mi'. There's another word that isn't needed.

¡Eso! :thumbsup:

[richard148]

¡Bien! The next sentence looks good?

[Rusty]

Yes.

If the first sentence seems like too much of a mouthful, you could write:
Diego Rivera es mi muralista mexicano favorito. -or-
Mi muralista favorito de México es Diego Rivera.
