“Like panes of colored glass filtering sunlight, Mandie Manzano’s work seems fit for a Monastery or faraway castle. Gentle maidens and lush environments fill each scene, crafting a story and enchanting the eyes. Manzano builds her compositions with light as her primary medium. Rays break through, colors gradate, and warmth permeates throughout. Each is a luminous patchwork of vibrant blocks, connected by bold tendrils and patterned stripes. Capturing an ineffable beauty, Manzano’s work reminds us that our full brilliance is revealed only when our own light from within shines through.”
