Muñoz was born in Cuzco, Peru in 1965, the son of a family of painters who immigrated to Lima, the country’s capital. Muñoz claims his ancestors assisted many of the famous Spanish artists who came to Cuzco in years past. These artists were sponsored by the Spanish elite to spread the word of God through religious art. Muñoz sharpened the skills passed down through his family by studying at the School of Arts of Cuzco.
