Pepe Muñoz
Born in Spain, Pepe's artistic journey was deeply influenced by his 15-year career as a professional dancer, which included captivating performances in prestigious venues like the West End and with the renowned Cirque du Soleil. It was during his time at Zumanity in Las Vegas that he encountered a profound fusion of art and fashion, a revelation sparked by the visionary costume designs of Thierry Mugler and the enchanting illustrations crafted by Stefano Canuli.
This serendipitous encounter with the world of fashion ignited a passion within Pepe, propelling him towards the realm of Fashion Illustration. He found himself drawn to the dynamic interplay between movement and fabric, where dance and fashion converged in a symphony of creativity. His artistic expression primarily takes the form of ink and watercolor, reflecting the fluidity and grace that characterized his years on stage.
While Pepe identifies as a Fashion Illustrator at heart, his fascination with the male form and its inherent sensuality is a recurring theme in his work. Through mediums such as watercolors, pastels, pencil, and charcoals, he captures the raw beauty and essence of masculinity, infusing his pieces with a captivating energy.
Now, as Pepe graces stages across the US with Moulin Rouge the Musical, he continues to draw inspiration from the seamless harmony of movement and couture. His art has garnered recognition from esteemed names such as Carolina Herrera, VOGUE Runway, Messika, Manolo Blahnik, and FABER CASTELL, solidifying his place as a distinguished figure in the intersection of fashion and art.
