Galician artist currently based in New York since 1996, Antonio Murado develops a work halfway between abstraction and the classical conception of landscape, which seeks not so much to reflect nature but to create a new one. At the end of the eighties he opened a small gallery in Lugo, Zú, where avant-garde artists and outstanding representatives of the Central European panorama of the moment will exhibit their work. In parallel, throughout his career he has held exhibitions of his work in galleries in Spain, the United States, Holland, Belgium, Australia, Canada, Austria, Portugal and various North American countries, with a special mention for the retrospective that the CGAC in Santiago de Compostela dedicated to him in 2002. He is currently represented in outstanding collections such as the Marugame-Hirai Museum in Japan, the Fine Arts Museum of Alava, the CGACG in Santiago, the Spanish and Ibero-American Museum of Contemporary Art in Cáceres, the Sofía Imber Museum in Caracas, the National Heritage of Spain, the Chase Manhattan Bank Collection and the Philip Morris Collection in New York, among others.
