Discover the contemporary work of manon spina
Born in Aix-en-Provence in 1989, I now live in Marseille. My artistic journey began at a very young age with the workshops of master pastel artist Suzy Estalbo-Baralle.
In 2006, at the age of 16, I completed an intercultural exchange in New Zealand, a transformative experience that reinforced my love for nature, sharing, and culture. After a literary baccalaureate and a stint at the family winery, I continued my studies in communications and marketing, allowing me to travel and nurture my creativity.
In 2012, I joined the ANIMA Investment Network association and organized events across Europe and around the Mediterranean for 12 years. In 2020, I discovered entrepreneurship and invested in the COUPle DE CŒUR project in France, while continuing to devote myself to My passion for pastels.
I have been painting with the AMEL artist collective in Rognes for over 15 years and lead introductory painting and dry paste workshops.
Passionate about nature and its landscapes, I draw from its nuances and atmospheres an inexhaustible source of creativity. Dry pastel is my medium of choice, allowing me to capture emotions and fleeting moments, painted from life during my visits to villages or in the studio. Each stroke of pastel invites you to travel, to savor and to observe the world differently.
