Born in 1994, Oviedo, Spain.
Manu García creates paintings and installations that reflect on identity, emotional memory, and the aesthetics of contemporary visual culture. A graduate of the University of Salamanca, García blends traditional painting techniques with digital aesthetics, using spray paint, stencils, and gestural abstraction to construct layered compositions that echo the language of the street and the screen.
His work has been exhibited at Beers London (UK), HAGD Contemporary (Denmark), Ruttkowski68 (Paris), Morgan Lehman Gallery (New York), among others. The artist was honored with two ESTAMPA awards: work acquired by Fundación Studiolo and a residency at ATMA-ART-House, Budapest.
García’s practice functions as an open diary—a space of contradiction, play, melancholy, and humor. Often operating at the threshold between intimacy and spectacle, his paintings are rooted in a desire to understand how we inhabit the world through image, gesture, and affect.
