Manu De Mey was born in Antwerp in 1965, his mother a British artist and his father a Flemish accountant.
With his art, Manu tries to create something visually striking and convey some sort of strong emotion. His portraits often are ambiguous and this is mostly intentional. Manu’s world is populated with sad, melancholic people with suppressed emotion, often beautiful but damaged woman.
Manu has had several expositions all over the world, including Antwerp, Brussels, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Italy, Monaco and Cairo.
