Manuel Vicent Lopez

Manuel Vicent, born in Valencia on the shores of Mediterranean Sea in August 1955, within a family of sculptors, has shown from his youth his love for drawing. His early work in the late seventies, consist on a large number of small paintings on cardboard, wood and canvas, using watercolor, gouache and acrylic...
This artistic facet has been alive for many years simultaneously with his ather vocation, medicine.

The practice of medicine, and the emotional burden involved, along with various events and personal experiences in the nineties, made "‹"‹him feel the need to transform his paintings' characters and figures into a more tangible reality using the three-dimensional space...Figures that can be touched, that can be caressed, eyes that look back at you, prominent figures that smile, cry, that show sorrow and joy, which are begging or marveled, figures that bring to light the inner feelings of every human being.
