PROJECT
The project that presents ‘Vida y pintura’ (Life and painting) narrates the life of the author with his parents, the well-known painters Lucio Muñoz and Amalia Avia, who work in two different forms of art: material abstraction and realism.
Muñoz wants his relationship as a son with the main characters of this story to offer a personal and literary view of the lives of his parents based on his knowledge and his special position with respect to them.
