The subject matter chosen for Muñoz 's paintings are predominantly ordinary objects, items from everyday life. Yet the majority of her works have a double reading. Although the subjects seem at first glance to be normal and everyday, the paintings always imply content beyond that which can be seen visually. Her tables, frequent subjects, are more than simply inert pieces of furniture or surfaces to support various objects. The table symbolizes the distinct and changeable life of every person. The table becomes a tableau, a set, upon which are placed all types of objects in different ways — ordinary, pleasing, fascinating, surprising, disagreeable. Muñoz 's tables become allegories of the commonplace quality of the human condition — apparently routine and mundane — yet the stuff of life itself. They are works to look at not with your eyes, but with your feelings.
