Manuel Facal

My artistic work is based on circular forms which suggest the Earth and planets, or the human eye which captures our glance, holds our attention and contains it. These forms are the aesthetic foundation which, confronted with the chaos of human life and the depletion of the planet's resources, offer us, at one and the same time, both an ideal paradigm and an unliveable (incoherent/unsustainable?) one – a paradigm which points to the evolution of a Dry Earth.
The essence of my work consists in the daily expression of my personal liberty, which, drawing inspiration from the deep, dynamic and expressive roots of Nature, gives artistic form to an innermost sense of admiration.
