Dominican Republic

Manuel Mera is a Dominican artist born in 1996, who specializes in painting and drawing. He obtained a degree in Fine Arts from the School of Design in Altos de Chavón, Dominican Republic in 2018 and completed a postgraduate course in Illustration at BAU School of Design, Barcelona, Spain in 2020. His works cover a wide range of references. A free translation of popular culture and digital graphics. Using photographs, memories, geometric patterns and anthropomorphic forms he creates saturated imaginary spaces, scenes full of hidden narratives, satires, and ambiguous situations. They reflect the human dialogue with the multi reality of digital media in a world wrapped in scientific advances but full of unresolved contradictions.
