From a very young age she was interested in drawing, specializing in the treatment of figures and faces, carefully analyzing expressions to get to say a lot with the minimum.

In her work the characters have a primary weight in the composition and the dreamlike atmospheres that they generate enhance the expressiveness of their faces, which function as intimate psychological portraits and acquire a veiled but intense dramaturgy.

Her mastery of volume stands out through a firm and accurate line, her taste for synthesis in her color palettes and her attraction to desaturated and slightly strident ranges, pondering the importance of drawing over color.

In 2016 urban art crosses her path, and since 2018 her career as an illustrator is combined with her mural work, which is gaining more and more weight, leading her to participate in various urban art events in recent years.

My name is Manuel García Fernández, I was born in Oviedo on September 22, 1994, graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Salamanca, I currently reside in Oviedo where I share a study with Edu Carrillo.

In general, the theme of my work is autobiographical, it works as a kind of diary, focused above all on the idea of inhabiting and approaching the world from artistic activity; starting from the idea of the game, not understanding this as something not serious, generating images and spaces to relate to the rest and to myself; uniting aspects that are apparently far from logical, in a field where primitive drives can share space with the fragmented aesthetics of the virtual, where what is important can be in a bond with other people, in a color, in an object or in a trace ; constantly falling into contradictory situations where the festive can go hand in hand with fear and laughter.
