Biography
Born in San Diego, Ca. USA 1978
After graduating with his Bachelor’s of Arts from Saint Olaf College in the USA, Gabriel Munguia started his art career as an apprentice in 1999 for one of China’s most renowned contemporary artist, Chen Yifei, which inspired artist to grow into the Munguia we know and realize today. This modern master's mentorship was awe inspiring and in fact changed the course of his life. For two decades now, Gabriel Munguia has chartered his own personal Shanghai odyssey on canvas. He has shared with us his growing pains, his love, his loneliness, his isolation, his joy and his excitement, and above all his passion for life. It is a passion that shines in his art. We are engaged by his life affirming energy, sensitive and generous nature, cheerful disposition, intuition and honesty. The richly textured abstraction echoes previous expressionistic and figurative works. There is a quest for harmony and balance in the universe of the unknown.
