He attended the Fine Arts Academy of San Carlos (“Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas”) in Mexico City.

He was a member of the Seminar of Mexican Culture (“Seminario de Cultura Mexicana”), the Arts Academy, member of the Commission to Protect and Preserve the Murals of Mexico of INBA (“Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes”), and president of the Mexican Association of Plastic Arts (“Asociacion Mexicana de Artes Plásticas AMAPAC.”) Throughout his career González Camarena earned many coveted awards, such as “Insignia Jose Clemente Orozco” from the Congress of Jalisco State in 1956, second prize at the “Salon Annual de Pintura del INBA” sponsored by the National Institute of Fine Arts in 1962, Gold Plaque from the Government of Jalisco in 1964, “L’Ordine al Merito de la República Italiana” from the government of Italy for painting a portrait of Michael Angelo, located at the Italian artist’s house in 1967, and the National Prize of Arts in Painting in 1970. González Camarena’s works have been displayed in many exhibits, for example, at the National Museum of  Plastic Arts at the Fine Arts Palace (“Palacio de Bellas Artes.”) in Mexico City and the Contemporary Mexican Art Exhibit promoted by the Foreign Relations Secretariat and the OPIC in Bordeaux, Paris, Lille, Lyon and Tolouse, France in 1958.

At different moments, his work can represent the experience of alien peoples living side by side, or express an irreducible mystery at the heart of indian culture.
