Antonio Muñiz was born on August 3, 1969, in Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico. Muñiz lived and went to school in Chihuahua before moving to Chicago, Illinois, at the age of 16 where he continued his schooling and graduated from high school. He then moved to San Diego, California, to study architecture and graduated in 1996 with a bachelor's degree in Architecture from the New School of Architecture. In 1997 Muñiz moved to Los Angeles, and worked for a few Architectural firms. In 2002 he then created his own design company called Muniva Design Group. This allowed Muñiz to choose the architectural work he wanted to work on, which gave him the flexibility to pursue his interest in art and start establishing himself as an abstract surrealist artist.
Workedit
Muñiz's main medium is oil on canvas, and since 2006 has been mentored by Rodrigo Pimental, a well known Mexican artist from Mexico City. Through Rodrigo Pimental, Muñiz was introduced to Andrés Blaisten, who is the leading authority on Mexican Modern Art and has the world's largest private collection of Modern Mexican Art,[1][2] which is on permanent display at Museo Andrés Blaisten in Mexico City. Andrés Blaisten suggested to Muñiz that he study Wolfgang Paalen, where Muñiz discovered the technique of Fumage. Since 2010 Muñiz studied and applied the fumage technique and created his first collection of fumage paintings and drawings titled Metamorphosis.
