Alberto Murillo is a self-taught painter who began his career in interior design. Murillo identifies with the tradition of Abstract Expressionism, though he also cites the influences of Andy Warhol and Edward Hopper in his paintings. Though the imagery and motifs in his work have varied over time, Murillo has consistently worked with variations on a single technique. Working on a flat surface, he pours acrylic or polymer emulsion onto board, which he manipulates as though “they are liquid skins that can be pulled, pushed,” before covering the composition with a resin coating. Murillo’s compositions are inspired by the architecture and moods of Spain and Latin America. Murillo’s abstract fields of color evoke the memory of places, from calming seascapes to the vibrant maelstrom of cities. His artwork has been exhibited and celebrated across the United States, as well as Europe. Murillo’s art is featured in a numbe rof selected private and public collections, including: The Givenchy Family Collection, Coca-Cola, Colliers International, Holland & Knight, Wells Fargo, and Bristol Myers
