Manuel Pablo Pace is a contemporary portrait painter. Based in Bassano, Italy, the artist is known for fusing traditional and modern mediums in his quest to convey a temporal and psychic suspension. Manuel experiments with various techniques and materials from diffused light to blended oils, acrylic, linen and paper. The resulting mixed-media works illuminate domestic scenes and explore the relationship between subject and landscape, self and surrounding.
