Biography
Manuel Pérez (Murcia, 1976) trained at the Murcia Art School, obtaining the title of Higher Technician in Arts Applied to Sculpture. At this center he received classes from the sculptor Dionisio Paje. Outside of him, he had the painter Manolo Belzunce as a teacher. Of both artists he is the outstanding disciple.
He had barely turned twenty when he began to stand out as one of the most promising artists of his generation. His important achievements in those years bear witness to this:

First Prize University of Murcia (2000)
First Prize National Competition of Fuente Álamo (2000)
First Prize for Young Murcia Painting (2000)
Medal of Honor II National Painting Competition, University of Murcia (2001), among others.
He has always combined his undoubted talent with an enviable capacity for work, which has made it possible for him to hold more than thirty individual exhibitions to date. Among those made in galleries, the following stand out:
Art Nine (2001, 2004, 2006, 2008)
Chys (2010, 2014, 2016, 2018)
