Mario Toral Muñoz (born in Santiago, Chile, on 12 February 1934) is a Chilean painter and photographer.

At the age of 16, Toral moved to Buenos Aires, where he saved money to enroll in the Escuela de Bellas Artes (School of Fine Arts) in Montevideo, Uruguay.

He later went to Brazil, where at 21 the first exhibition of his work was shown at the Sao Paulo Museum of Modern Art.

1957

In 1957, Toral moved to France, where he studied at the School of Fine Arts in Paris.

1963

Toral had collaborated with the poet Pablo Neruda, illustrating a number of his poems, including a 1963 edition of Alturas de Macchu Picchu.

1973

Between 1973 and 1992, Toral lived in New York City.

1974

Major works completed during this period include Prisioneras de Piedra (Prisoners of Stone, 1974–1977) and Mascaras (Masks, 1979–1981).

1992

Returning to Chile in 1992, Toral was a professor at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile and Dean of the Faculty of Arts at Finis Terrae University.

1995

Afterwards, between 1995 and 1998, I worked in the Neptuno workshops, where a metallic structure was built that replicated the Universidad de Chile metro station and the 1200 square meters I was to paint.”

1999

In 1999, Toral completed the mural Memoria Visual de una Nación (Visual Memory of a Nation), located at the Universidad de Chile metro station in Santiago.

The painting measures 1200 square meters, is located in the platform area and divided into two sections: "Pasado" (“Past”), and "Presente" (“Present”).

It shows fragments of Chile's history, from the violent Spanish conquest to the modern day.

Toral has said of the mural,

“I received the invitation to do this mural when I was living in New York.

I immediately thought of the history of Chile as a theme as it was time to rediscover my origins after being away for so long; I also thought to narrate the story in such a way that we would all feel represented.

I researched for two years, travelling around the country, reading and interviewing historians, poets and representatives of our original peoples.

2007

In September 2007 Toral received the medal of honor from the Pablo Neruda Foundation in recognition of his career trajectory and contributions to Chilean culture.

2011

In 2011, Lonely Planet named Universidad de Chile one of its "Subway stations worth getting off the train for", and in 2014, the BBC named it one of the seven most beautiful stations in the world.
