COYA introduces explosive artist
Manu Aguero captures energy on canvas.
Manu Aguero uses electrifying colors and unique shapes to create incongruously beautiful paintings of destruction. His explosive works will be exhibited at COYA, a contemporary Peruvian restaurant located at the Four Seasons Resort, Dubai until September.
Inspired by explosions and the beauty of change, each piece expresses a different story about creation and new beginnings.
“To me, an explosion is the act of creating something new rather than the end of something, the internationally award-winning Spanish national explained. “In each of my works, it is important for me to capture the mood and energy of that moment.”
