Born in the town of Yecla (Murcia) in 1960 but set up residence in the Alicante town of San Vicente del Raspeig.

In 1978 he joined the School of Plastic Arts of the CAPA, directed by ANTOGONZA, which was again for two years, that its advanced technology.

In September 1995 he created his own school-SCHOOL PAINTING WORKSHOP MUZ-MARTÍNEZ in the city of San Vicente del Raspeig. It is from here that combines his time between teaching and creating his paintings.

OWN STYLE


Logical that teachers exert a strong influence on his students, in fact, Muz-Martinez acknowledges that his beginnings in the world of painting were well marked by the style of his teacher Antogonza.

In the first works that flow from impressionism figurative artist takes great strength but with the passage of time and moved by their knowledge and concerns centers on the search for an own label identity. A style that would identify him and his artwork.
There are many styles that the artist experiences, until he discovers his true fulfillment through abstraction and figuration.

According to the words of the Muz-Martínez, abstraction will produce sensations fully satisfactory. A style that allows you to search a wide range of materials with which you feel your creativity is the ability to expand without limit.

Muz-Martinez creates discussion in the abstract without losing reference of objects and sensations that surround it, and this commitment to action for his time, his creative will, results in images that transport us to remember our daily life with passion and different enough to see its labyrinthine compositions or colors wasting vitality, to feel that sense of zest for life and see something tells us

A step further, also warns that the talent is boiling, the technique is suited to criterion, and that both documents are in the service of human development itself as a link between the known and what remains for us to know, between what we see and what the author teaches.
