MANAR Tecnique: Printed as a giclée on certified Canson Etching Rag 310g paper, signed and numbered, part of a limited edition. Year: 2025 Dimensions: 35 x 35 cm Description: BETWEEN BLOOM AND BONE – Diptych – “What Remains Beneath” Raw and monochromatic, What Remains Beneath offers an intimate echo of a larger image — a skeletal version, stripped of color, revealing the undercurrent of gesture, structure, and silence. This drawing stems from the same composition as Threshold in Bloom, yet shifts the focus inward. Without color, the linework becomes central: direct, unfiltered, almost forensic. The mirrored faces, the stacked skulls, the climbing stems — all elements remain, but suspended in a kind of spectral space. Rather than illustrating a beginning or an end, this piece captures the in-between — the residue of memory before meaning fully forms, or after it fades. Presented in a signed, limited edition created exclusively for Arteaporte, What Remains Beneath speaks not loudly, but persistently — in the way quiet things do when we stop to listen.

MANAR Tecnique: Printed as a giclée on certified Canson Etching Rag 310g paper, signed and numbered, part of a limited edition. Year : 2025 Dimensions: 35 x 35 cm Description: BETWEEN BLOOM AND BONE – Diptych – “Threshold in Bloom” Skulls and leaves, opposing faces, saturated tones — Threshold in Bloom explores a symbolic threshold: between life and death, memory and loss, color and disappearance. This illustration is the culmination of a broader reflection on transitions — biological, emotional, spiritual. Two human profiles face outward, separated by a crown of skulls, while a tangle of climbing plants rises behind them. The vibrant color palette suggests growth and resilience, even as the imagery evokes decay and departure. The piece was also brought to life as a large-scale mural (2.10 × 2.10 m), painted live at the ZikZac Festival 2025 in Aix-en-Provence. This performative context gave the composition a monumental presence, grounding the image in the physical and public space. Printed in a limited, signed edition exclusively for Arteaporte, Threshold in Bloom invites viewers to pause where life and death coexist — not in conflict, but in fragile dialogue.
