Murfin

Originally from Andalusia, he lives and works in Madrid where he has his home studio.At the end of the 90s.

Manuel Delgado was born in Linares, a southern industrial city and spontaneous cradle of the graffiti scene in Spain, who, provoked by the 'lettering', would end up tagging the streets of his neighborhood with the name of Murfin.

At the age of 9 he began to paint graffiti, when mastering the spray was not only complicated by skill but even by the dimensions of the can. Thus began in the child the decoding of a new form of expression, which combined lines, movement and a clever use of color.
In 2013 he moved to Malaga to continue his training at the San Telmo School of Art, the commissions continued and he began to develop his first collections. Combining her artistic explosion with teaching is complicated and at that time painting in the streets of Malaga was difficult.The first trips to Madrid began, the scene there was effervescent, there was competition, you fed yourself, it was another speed. At the end of the year she moves to the capital.

In the metropolis she was able to release all his scenes, technical perfection and experimentation of materials in the studio, and large dimensions and explosions of color in the street. He closed his training at the El Enclave Art Academy in Madrid, a compressed pill of the essence of Fine Arts.

With its first European commissions in capitals such as Milan, and collaborations with international brands, it has recently begun its introduction into the Asian market through galleries in Singapore. He was recognized by the Junta de Andalucía with the ‘Young Andalusia Award for Promotion Abroad’.

His pieces on the street allow him to be a social and transformative activator, trying to decontextualize the natural position of art and take it where it has never been done before.

Currently, the line of work between figuration and abstraction continues, giving greater importance to the evolution of its process and concept. He continues to explore the perception of color and his interest in new technological universes and their fusion with art.
