Born in Mexico, he immigrated to the United States and settled permanently in the San Fernando Valley.

Murillo remained active in his community, teaching art and exhibiting his art in galleries in San Fernando Valley, CA and Sante Fe, NM. This is not by the Colombian born, London based Oscar Murillo. His work bore the influences of abstract expressionist artists, pop art, with strong influences of Basquiat in some of his pieces and social realism.
The Chicano Art Movement represents attempts by Mexican-American artists to establish a unique artistic identity in the United States. Much of the art and the artists creating Chicano Art were heavily influenced by Chicano Movement (El Movimiento) which began in the 1960s. Chicano art was influenced by post-Mexican Revolution ideologies, pre-Columbian art, European painting techniques and Mexican-American social, political and cultural issues. The movement worked to resist and challenge dominant social norms and stereotypes for cultural autonomy and self-determination.
