Portrait of Mani Martinez

About

My passion for visuals started very early. I was a self-taught artist in a couple of fields, then decided to study everything to do with art and image.

Arts and Crafts at Llotja in Barcelona, Fine Arts at Camberwell (London Institute), and Art Direction / Production Design at ESCAC. With time I became a production designer and art director, mostly feature films, also series, and commercials too. That's years and years ago now, even if I don't look it, and I still have a lot of fun doing it.
