During the early 1990s, Manu Muñoz (Cabo de Gata, Almería, 1977) began, quite accidentally, his relationship with the visual arts through graffiti: three years dedicated exclusively to creating murals and interventions of all kinds.
In 1993, he was invited to participate in a charity group exhibition, an event that marked a turning point in his career.
In the latter half of the 1990s, he decided to dedicate himself almost entirely to painting, leaving graffiti on the back burner to work and experiment with new media and materials. It was during this period that he held his first exhibition in an art gallery in Madrid's Huertas neighborhood. From that moment on, he participated in various group exhibitions both inside and outside Spain, and his creative work became the artist's lifeblood.
In 2000, his series "Relative Humidity" opened the door to the Blanca Soto Gallery, where he held several exhibitions. At the same time, the receipt of several awards and mentions placed his work on the national artistic map. After a brief and necessary hiatus during 2005 and 2006, he moved to London, a city that produced a profound change for the artist and his work. There, in the Chelsea neighborhood, his exhibition "Psychotourism" revealed an unexpected shift toward figuration that remains in his work to this day.
His work, spread across more than a hundred exhibitions, has been seen in several countries both within and outside Europe: Japan, the United States, Germany, Belgium, and England.
After his time in London, he returned to Cabo de Gata, Almería, where he currently lives and works.
