Born 1976 San Diego, California

Gabriel Munguia is a Mexican-American artist based in Shanghai, China. Gabriel Munguia was born and raised in San Diego. The second oldest of eight siblings. 
He graduated with his Bachelor of Arts from Saint Olaf College, Minnesota, USA. Gabriel Munguia started his art career as an apprentice in 1999 for one of China’s most renowned contemporary artists -- Chen Yifei, and later with Marcestel Squarciafichi one of France's master living contemporary artists.  In 2017-18 he was accepted at the prestigious Sichuan Fine Art Institute as a visiting Scholar in the art practice and academic arena of the Song Dynasty.

For two decades Gabriel Munguia has chartered his own personal international 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. His artwork is textured in abstraction, there is a quest for harmony and balance in the universe of the unknown
