JUROR: Elizabet Munzón:
Elizabeth Munzon is an oil painter living and working in Long Beach CA. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) with an emphasis in Figurative Painting and Drawing and a minor in Marketing from California State University, Long Beach in 2017. Munzon is the owner and creative director of Munzón Gallery located in Long Beach CA. A few of the places her work has been exhibited include the Long Beach Museum of Art, Torrance Art Museum, Brea Gallery and Bergamot station.
Munzon’s work often addresses her Mexican-American ethnic identity within the context of art history and Mexican Pre-Hispanic mythologies, a subject matter chosen to educate herself about the stories and myths of her culture. As Munzón learns about these mythologies; she creates her own interpretation of the narratives by using the figure, color and compositions influenced by art history.
