Artist Biography

Jeronimo Muñiz (b. 1938) is a Spanish artist who, after relocating to Morocco, developed a profound connection to its people and diverse landscapes. His early works capture this bond, emphasising dramatic, expressive landscapes imbued with a soft, idealised quality, as if viewed through a foggy lens. This distinctive style, marked by its atmospheric mood, was established by Muñiz before the age of 30.
