Bustamante was born in Culiacan, Sinaloa, and studied architecture at the University of Guadalajara. His first art exhibition showcased paintings and papier-mâché figures at the Galeria Misrachi in Mexico City in 1966, and by the mid-1970s, his practice expanded to include wood and bronze sculpture. Reminiscent of Surrealists like Remedios Varo (Spanish, 1908-1963), Bustamante's work draws from the country's rich history of Surrealist and spiritual art.
