IDENTIDAD 4.jpg Photography by Manuel Alcaide Mengual

Manuel Alcaide Mengual is an abstract photographer. There is a constant tension in his work between figuration and abstraction, between imitation and more or less simplified idealization, and he attempts to transcend both the figurative and conceptual.

His aim is not to experiment with the technique but to make use of it. He doesn't despise the objectivity it provides, he just departs from it, he tries to transform it by providing a new starting point that the object also provides and that is there, offering us its own vision, approaching us with its own and so unknown blind universe

Mengual, Manuel Alcaide, was born in Cordoba (Spain). He currently resides and works in Seville. He earned a degree in history from Cordoba University. He has worked in a variety of foundations as a cultural manager and coordinator. His work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions and has been included in several internationally distributed portfolios.
