About Me

Hello there! It's great to have you here.

My name is Manasses Machado and I am the founder and artist behind Manasses Art Studio. I was born in Brazil, but currently live on the south coast of the UK with my beloved Josie and two cute dogs, Seymour and Otis.

Funny story: I graduated in Law School back in Brazil. I used to imagine I would be a lawyer or a judge one day.

But there comes a time when you just have to follow your heart, right?

After relocating to London after Uni, my passion for Art reignited with frequent visits to museums and exhibitions. Then, one fortuitous day at age 27, I purchased my first canvas, brushes, and paints. Despite lacking drawing skills, I am glad I didn't listen to my high school friend's discouragement to 'just give up, you will never be able to draw.'

Fast forward, I worked through various jobs, mainly in Hospitality, and now I live my dream, painting the enchanting stories I imagine.

My art blends adventure with dreamy creatures, focusing heavily on storytelling. Each brushstroke invites you on a journey through vibrant worlds. I enjoy creating whimsical scenes, blending nature's beauty with a touch of the fantastical—think stylish foxes and relatable pandas on adventures.

I infuse imagination and energy into my work, aiming for each piece to not only catch your eyes, but also resonate with your soul. It's more than just art; it's about reconnecting with our core virtues and the best version of ourselves, reminding us of who we truly want to become in this wonderful journey.

If you're seeking something special for your space, I'm thrilled to share my world with you. I hope my style of colorful narratives and cute, fantasy-inspired characters resonates with you.
