Reflection | Colibri Boat (2020) Digital Arts by Cardoso Manu

Passionate about drawing since always, charcoal, tip mine, pen, and B&W photography have long been my favorite areas. Color and painting will only come later, first abstract then figurative, initiation stage or personal challenge? I free myself when the knife finally appears in free figuration.

I use ONLY quality materials and superior finishes (pure linen fabrics on superior quality frames, binders, oils and Sennelier pigments ..). The longevity and sustainability of my creations remain essential to me.
