Jesús "Chucho" Reyes Ferreira was born in Guadalajara. His interest in art was influenced by his father, a lawyer, teacher and author of Las bellas artes en Jalisco (1882).

In 1938, "Chucho" Reyes moved to Mexico City where he acquired a large house near the Galería de Arte Mexico. There, he opened his own artist's studio in the courtyard and dealt in antiques.
