Giuseppe Munafo was born in Avola Italy in 1963. He earned his academic degree in architecture at the University of Genova, Italy and attended the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) School of Architecture in Newark, New Jersey. In addition to his work as a designer and architect, Munafo is an accomplished and respected artist. He has been the recipient of numerous commissions from both private and public sources which have earned him international notoriety as an artist. Munafo's work is developed on the binomial concept of "form and content" and the continued experimentation with various materials and techniques to express a profound and rich multiplicity of ideas and effects. The interaction between materials and light and between structure and abstractions hinge on the interweaving and development of the various components of his work, infusing in it, a high level of energy and rapport between "humanness" and "timelessness". His work has been displayed at several important cultural and artistic events and he is also a pivotal participant in the organization and coordination of art projects for the Museum of Art at Casa Colombo (MACC) in Jersey City where he works on the organization and presentation of art exhibitions and installations. He lives in Garfield, New Jersey. by Silvana Nota (Art Critic / Journalist)
