JUMU Monster (Jurena Munoz) is a Berlin-based artist with Peruvian-Chilean roots. Shamanism, rites, myths and dances as a connection between humans, the spirit world and nature are integral to her work and serve as inspiration for her masks, canvases and many murals. Deeply impressed by the creative genius of indigenous communities, Munoz transposes influences from different cultures and reflects them in the form of patterns, colours and techniques to create her own surreal and spiritual worlds, which are characterized by bold forms and the colourful palette of her Latin American roots.
Born in Hanover in 1990 and raised alternately in the Canary Islands, Latin America and Germany, Munoz studied fashion and design – her murals adorn walls in Hamburg, Dortmund, Munich, Tirana, Vienna and Berlin.
