Mijas, Malaga, 1976.
Period of residence in Piramidón:
January 2008 - February 2011
Work: Investigating the topic of human vulnerability, Juan Manuel Reyes expresses, in his works, the fine line between what is alive and what is dead.
His work is seen inundated by a feeling of ambivalence between tenderness and brutality. Enormous faces, faded and devoid of defined features, show us their most remote and hidden side, that of their privacy. Fragility is palpable in some works that invite us to investigate another privacy; our own.
