Manú Menéndez is a multidisciplinary artist whose work navigates the intersections of consciousness, mysticism, and urban aesthetics, blending color, texture, form, sound, poetry, and sacred geometry into a singular artistic language. His creative vision is deeply rooted in the belief that consciousness is the force that gives meaning to reality, shaping not only our perception but also our ability to transcend the ordinary and manifest the extraordinary.
In his compositions, animals, natural elements, and ethereal beings emerge as guardians of a primordial wisdom, guiding the viewer toward a deeper understanding of their own existence as both spirit and matter. His aesthetic draws inspiration from visionary art, urban landscapes, street culture, and ancestral traditions, creating a visual language that resonates across cultures and time.
With over fourteen years of experience, Manú has exhibited his work in solo and group exhibitions across Mexico, Panama, Brazil, Portugal, Peru, Germany, Poland, Italy, Hungary, and the United States. His immersive art exhibitions, large-scale murals, and stage designs have been featured in renowned international festivals, including Boom (Portugal), Ozora (Hungary), Freqs of Nature (Germany), Tribal Gathering (Panama), Ancient Trance (Germany), and WAO Festival (Italy), among others.
Currently, he is developing his latest pictorial series, “Divine Within”, while simultaneously crafting poetic and philosophical narratives under the pseudonym Shri Awen. His artistic journey extends beyond painting—his work is a testament to the convergence of multiple creative disciplines.
A life lived with presence, curiosity, and intention.
Through a process of sublimation and recontextualization, Manú’s work transforms fleeting moments into timeless experiences, making the invisible visible, the abstract tangible, and the mundane divine. His artistic practice transcends visual storytelling—it becomes an act of materialization, where each piece functions as a portal for spiritual exploration, bridging the ancestral with the contemporary, the mystical with the avant-garde.
This vision is not confined to the studio. It is shaped by how he lives—by the rhythm of his travels, the ritual of music, and the intimate language of the body in motion. His life itself becomes a continuous inquiry, a choreography of experience that infuses his creative process with visceral depth and emotional resonance.
Manú is also the co-founder of the Holistic FOCO Creative Agency, a creative powerhouse dedicated to art, design, branding, and cultural projects that seamlessly blend urban aesthetics with spiritual depth.
In addition, he is the co-creator of several collaborative artistic initiatives, including:
Through these multidisciplinary endeavors, he continues to build global artistic networks, collaborating with visionaries from all over the world and Mexico, expanding the boundaries of creative expression.
