About The Artwork

In Transition, a mother is trying to provide solace to her son whom she knows will soon die. The mother is my mother and the son is my younger brother. A month before cancer took my brother’s life, I asked him and my mother to pose for their final portrait together. My brother is resting his body on my mother’s lap and she is caressing the man to whom she gave birth but now must see through his final days. In this image, there is sadness—the certainty of an imminent loss of a life – and the beauty of my mother’s compassion and love as she holds the plastic bag that has collected the poisonous liquids drained from his body, and as she hopes and asks for a little more time with her son behind what seems to be a crying wall.

Originally from Mexico, Manuel started to study digital photography in 2009. He studied initially with renowned photographers Alan Benchoan and Daniel Chauche and at La Fototeca in Guatemala City and graduated in 2014 from Boston University’s Center for Digital Imaging Arts (CDIA) in Washington DC where he resides. His main body of work focuses on exploring the urban landscape, the integration of the face and body into fine art through staged scenarios, and fashion photography. In Washington, Manuel joined the International Photographic Society (IPS) in 2013 and was rookie of the year in the 2013-14 and Photographer of the Year in 2015-16. He was awarded the 2016-2017 and 2017-18 Washington DC Government Art & Humanities Fellowship as well as the 2018-19 Circle Foundation for the Arts (CFA) Artist of the Year Award finalist certificate. Manuel has done several solo and group exhibits in Guatemala City, Washington DC, including at the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, New York City (Foundation for the Arts, Onishi Gallery, Artexpo, and the Leslie-Lohman Project Space), London’s Parallax Art Fairs and Italy’s 2018 Chianciano Art Biennale where he won the Leonardo First Prize for Photography and Digital Art. National Geographic and LensCulture have both recognized several of his images. In addition, Manuel has curated photography exhibitions, including IPS 50th Anniversary and published a book, Dialogue through Time, commemorating this anniversary. Several of his images are owned by the Public Art Program of the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities, the Chianciano Art Museum in Italy, and art collectors around the world.
