My Eyes, My Sea: Contemporary Painting Exhibition in Malaga

This exhibition by Malaga-based artist Manu Garrido presents a visual exploration of the sea as a central emotional and creative force. Through a selection of paintings, the artist captures the interplay of water, light, and movement to transform the maritime environment into a symbolic landscape of memory and experience.

In 'My Eyes, My Sea,' artist Manu Garrido constructs a unique plastic universe where the marine environment serves as the foundational axis of his work. The exhibition showcases the artist's evolution as he translates his deep connection to the sea—partially inspired by his background in sailing—into a distinct pictorial language defined by intense chromatic exploration and emotional depth. Visitors can experience a collection of works that seek to bridge the gap between the physical reality of water and its representation as a lived, subjective experience. The artist, who is largely self-taught, returned to his creative practice in 2018, refining a style that bridges emotion with contemporary aesthetics. By focusing on light and movement, Garrido invites viewers to look at the sea not just as a natural landscape, but as a territory of personal identity. The works on display reflect his continuous dialogue with the waves, offering a nuanced perspective on the maritime world through a lens shaped by both artistic intuition and life experience.

Access to the exhibition is included with the purchase of a general museum admission ticket. No separate ticket or additional cost is required to visit this display during the museum's regular opening hours.
