Manuel Hernandez
Painter who went through styles such as figurative and abstract art. His style is set in the middle of geometrism and expressionism: in balance between intellect and emotion. Hernández belongs to the world of pure abstraction; deliberately installed in a formal field alien to any naturalistic reference.
