Manuel Vidal
Born in Spain in 1953 as a child artist already showed a penchant for plastically works and sculpture. But since he could not count on family support, he turned his artistic skills in the textile industry. As in 1981 in his hometown of La Pobla de Claramunt an art school was founded, the "Escuela de Artes y Oficios", he accepts there the function of the rector. He gives this position after a few years in order to devote himself entirely to his sculptural work.
He creates sculptures that reveal a clear tendency to the figurative in dynamic, dance movement. In his world, man is focus on a creation that is constantly renewed. As the great masters of Greek Antiquity, he is always looking for the truth and the origin of human existence. With zest, he breaks up the rock and forms it into sculptures of unique beauty and expressiveness.
