Manuel García Fernández was born in Oviedo in 1994, he graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Salamanca and currently lives in Oviedo where he shares a studio with Edu Carrillo. In general the theme of his work is autobiographical, it works as a kind of diary, centred above all on the idea of inhabiting and approaching the world through artistic activity; starting from the idea of play, not understanding this as something not serious, generating images and spaces to relate to others and to himself; uniting aspects that are apparently far from the logical, in a field where primitive impulses can share space with the fragmented aesthetics of the virtual, where the important thing can be in a link with other people, in a colour, in an object or in a trace; constantly falling into contradictory situations where the festive can go hand in hand with fear and laughter.
