FER MANCILLA BIO:
Fer Mancilla (b. Cuernavaca) is a prominent contemporary Mexican self-taught sculptor whose vibrant work stands at the forefront of the Neo-Pop art movement.
Beginning his artistic journey in the United States in 2010, Mancilla transitioned from colorful Naïve painting into three-dimensional sculpture, capturing global attention through his signature character: Mr. Manny. Mancilla’s artistic achievements have reached monumental heights, with his large-scale sculptures permanently installed in prestigious architectural landmarks, including the luxury skyscraper Torre Mitikah and Corporativo Samara in Mexico City.
Mancilla’s acclaimed Mr. Manny serves as a profound yet humorous critique of modern society, portraying the contemporary professional obsessed with work, technology, and success. Through his masterful use of both traditional lost-wax bronze and high-gloss pyroxylin resins, the artist strips his characters of their corporate rigidity, placing them in scenes of pure leisure and child-like wonder.
Represented by leading contemporary art galleries, Mancilla’s playful and highly sophisticated sculptures are fiercely sought after by fine art collectors across Mexico, the United States, and worldwide.
