Antonio Murado (Lugo, Galicia, Spain 1964). (BFA University of Salamanca) early on caught the attention of the Spanish art scene, taking center stage in a number of important prizes and juried exhibitions. His relationship with New York began in 1995, when he received the Unión Fenosa – MACUF Artists Abroad Grant, eventually settling in the city for good. Considered by critics as one of the most internationally renowned Spanish painters, his work has been shown in both solo and group shows in Germany, Canada, the United States and elsewhere. His work can be found in important international collections such as New York’s Philip Morris Collection and American Express Collection and Barcelona’s La Caixa Collection of Contemporary Art.
