Returning to Austin after four years abroad, Fernando Muñoz shares a new series of artworks, each paired with a short poem or note—a small letter of hope. In a time when we’re all seeking light, connection, and resilience, these visual postcards offer quiet moments of reflection and warmth. Through the gentle pairing of image and text, Postcards of Hope is a reminder that even the simplest messages can carry us forward.
Chilean artist Fernando Muñoz began his creative journey in 2013, motivated to produce meaningful work. As a self-taught artist, he explores drawing, printmaking, ceramics, photography, and poetry, drawing inspiration from his experiences in Chile, Oregon, Texas, and Lisbon.
