Descripción del Artista
Manuel Lariño es un artista visual nacido en A Coruña, España, y ha encontrado en el arte generativo el medio para expresarse, creando colecciones mediante algoritmos y código.
Licenciado en Bellas Artes por el Ringling College of Art and Design (Florida, EE. UU.) y formado también en ilustración en la Joe Kubert School (New Jersey), inició su carrera como ilustrador, colaborando con publicaciones como Esquire Magazine, Paste Magazine o Faber & Faber. Su trabajo ha sido reconocido en certámenes como Illustration West (Los Ángeles) y GZCrea, y ha expuesto en galerías de España, Nueva York, Los Ángeles, Londres y Florida, entre otros lugares.
Con una base sólida en el dibujo y la pintura, su proceso creativo sigue naciendo en el papel, donde desarrolla ideas y estructuras que luego traduce a sistemas generativos. Su obra explora la intersección entre lo algorítmico y lo natural, entre lo digital y lo físico, integrando patrones del mundo real como punto de partida. En series como Marea Infinita, sincroniza su trabajo con el ritmo de las mareas; en otras, como Forecast (Art Blocks, 2023), construye un sistema meteorológico interno inspirado en la lluvia.
Diseña lógicas propias que reflejan ciclos ambientales, estructuras emergentes y procesos orgánicos, buscando un equilibrio entre lo programado y lo imprevisible. En un mundo cada vez más condicionado por lo digital, su trabajo propone una inversión del paradigma: que sea lo real quien deje su huella en lo digital.
---------
Visual artist born in A Coruña, Spain, to an American mother and a Spanish father. He grew up between the United States and Spain, a bicultural experience that has deeply influenced his artistic perspective. His current practice focuses on generative art, using code not only as a visual tool but as a medium to build systems where concept and process are deeply intertwined.
He holds a Fine Arts degree from the Ringling College of Art and Design (Florida, USA) and also studied illustration at the Joe Kubert School (New Jersey). He began his career as an illustrator, collaborating with publications such as Esquire Magazine, Paste Magazine, and Faber & Faber. His work has been recognized in competitions such as Illustration West (Los Angeles) and GZCrea, and has been exhibited in galleries across Spain, New York, Los Angeles, London, and Florida, among others.
With a strong foundation in drawing and painting, his creative process still begins on paper, where he develops ideas and structures that are later translated into generative systems. His work explores the intersection between the algorithmic and the natural, the digital and the physical, using patterns from the real world as a starting point. In series such as Marea Infinita, his work syncs with the rhythm of the tides; in others, like Forecast (Art Blocks, 2023), he builds an internal weather system inspired by rainfall.
He designs custom logics that reflect environmental cycles, emergent structures, and organic processes, seeking a balance between the programmed and the unpredictable. In a world increasingly shaped by the digital, his work proposes a reversal of that paradigm—allowing the real world to leave its imprint on the digital.
