Interview by Dessislava Berndt with Javier Munoz

How did painting become a main part of your life?

I have been drawing and painting since I was a child. Professionally I started my carrier 21 years ago, when I was 16.

Who or what has influence on your work?

I like very much the paintings of Marilyn Manson, Picasso, Edward Hopper and the artworks of Tim Burton.

How would you define the character of your paintings?

They are decorative, colourist, figurative, abstract and 100 % original.

What is the source of your inspiration?

Basically, people and communication.

That’s the reason why I paint so many faces. Nothing has more value than a person.

What about your future projects?

I like to keep working for my clients, purifying my style.

What are you dreaming about?

About a better world, with possibilities for everyone.

What are you doing in your spare time?

I watch some TV series, listen to music or just relax.

What is the greatest satisfaction for you as an artist and what is your biggest challenge?

My greatest satisfaction is to continue working.

My biggest challenge is to continue working as long as possible.

What is the most important thing people should know about you?

Respect opens many doors in life.
