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

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

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.
