about
Manuel Mera is a Dominican artist who specializes in painting and drawing, covering a wide range of references. Using photographs, memories, geometric patterns, and anthropomorphic forms, Mera creates saturated imaginary spaces, scenes full of hidden narratives, satires, and ambiguous situations. His works reflect the human dialogue with the multi-reality of digital media in a world wrapped in scientific advances but full of unresolved contradictions
