Born in 1975 in Salamanca, Spain, David de la Mano is a recognized contemporary artist known for his meticulous brushwork, almost systematic use of black and white, and minimalist human silhouettes. With a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from the University of Salamanca and a doctorate from the University of Valencia, he has been creating works in public spaces since 1993, seamlessly integrating into street art.
“As human beings, we are all looking for our true self. We all do this, but we each do this in our unique way. The wolves represent our tools but also our fears, which is an important part in this process. The woman represents the first step towards change, and breaking the rules that need to be broken to discover your true self. The fence is like a door, but it can be interpreted in two ways; we need to look inside ourselves, but at the same time we need external inspiration. Art in general should serve as a reminder of what is true for you.” / David de la Mano
