Mundo Hermético Sandro (2025) Painting by Muniek

Words about the work


And with regard to art, everything comes from within, with feeling and honesty in my feelings. I was building worlds with my internal worlds. I put myself in the place of an Aztec or Maya or Inca or any Indian of antiquity, and I thought how that Indian at that time (1300;1400 after Christ) would express himself artistically with painting, defending himself from external aggression (invaders and genocide), painting symbols that had to do with solidarity, and others that served to defend themselves and break with the system that was imposed on them.
Worlds with symbols also arose, with the same end. And that's how my art came out. I am what they call self-taught. And I like the association of the words: UNDERGROUND ART.
If you ask me what I am, I answer: Painter, teacher and Engineer. And there are times when I get encouraged by poetry.

Several words were written about my work.

a) Criticism by a member of the Argentine and Latin American Association of Art Critics and Communicators. (I tell you that there are many critics here)

MUniEK, emerging voice

It was the legendary Joseph Conrad who made - fortunately - that trip "to the heart of darkness". On this dark bank of the Río de la Plata (without silver but contaminated) MUniEK or Luis... recycles, in painting and literature, the same trip. I mean another. Yours - with the difference that it is a round trip-
A trip where darkness and mystery are mixed with exaltation, the unexpected. The very multiplication of the trips- The same one that in each painting re-begins-; it turns into disappointment and joy. In the terrible and the wild joy, leaving its mark of shocking enigma.
Figurative and abstract, the painting of MUniEK or Luis Escobar, is continually another and the same. Like the snake sheds its skin. To survive. To meet.
By the way, he is discovered as one of the most original voices of the new Argentine art. That desperate mania to express himself, in the confines of the empire- From the rebellious heart of the colony.


b) This critique appeared in a show that was held in a French Pub called LA CIGALE.

MUniEK exhibits his paintings throughout the month. An enigmatic inner journey that investigates mutability as survival.

c) In my last show I left a notebook where people wrote about my work. All the opinions were encouraging, but despite not getting along with my dad, he was the one who wrote the closest thing to what I feel. He said: In the world you are in, art is a subjective process of constant regeneration and in you this is fulfilled.

d) MUniEK by MUniEK


Mr. MUniEK was commissioned to write a few lines about the Lord's work...
