Daniel Muñoz "SAN"(Morale, Cáceres 1980) begins his path in the first years of the 90s, painting on the walls of his hometown. After a few years as a self-taught mainly wallpainting artist, in 1997 he decides to undertake an artistic degree in the city of Cácares, then in Madrid in 2000 to start his studies at the Fine Arts Faculty at the Complutense University. During the first years in the spanish capital, he has his first exhibits, alternating with mural works in many Spanish and European cities.
Since the beginning, his work has a strongly figurative mark, using exclusively the public space as a way to convey his work, making his messages clear to as many persons as possible, without any socio-cultural discrimination.

His style is composed by symbols and codes creating an accurate reading within the narration of classic painting and the sociologic theories of contemporary art. Every one of his works forces us into different and confused interpretation, even if they depict daily facts and anecdotes based on common topics.
In the last years he has realized various exhibits and interventions in public spaces in Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Russia and Middle East. In particular, he has had showcases in spaces such as: Luis Adelantado Gallery in Valencia, Ceart (Fuenlabrada), Le Gogna (Niort – France) and the National Gallery of Art of Amman (Jordan).

His work has been published in various books and artistic publications.

His clearly recognizable style is dominated by a predilection for the absence of flat fields of color, and also a clean lines, through which he’s capable of depicting, with weird and incisive associations based on the paradox, the contradictions on the contemporary, in a sneering socio-political critic often expressed through a dissemblance of meanings.
