Artists come in all sort of shapes and forms but also ages! Manuel Díaz Domingo is no exception!
The 8 years old boy from Palma, Spain has started to be a recognised artist around the world with his unique view and painting skills.
His paintings includes a diamond shape instead of the face of the character he is representing and frankly they are just amazing paintings!
Manuel says he was interested in art from a very young age.
“You could say that as a child I learned to walk, read and paint,” he says. “During quarantine I discovered that I wanted to go deeper into painting. The best thing was that when I painted I felt free, it was like leaving home; painting opened a portal that took me to another world.”
Manuel says his main influences are Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol and Frida Kahlo.
“I want to do the things that other children do, like playing with my friends and my brother, and playing sports,” says Manuel, who says he has fulfilled his dream.
“I would advise children to never stop pursuing their dreams. We are all diamonds and we must find our place to shine. I focused on art and look what I’ve achieved,” he says. “My work is being recognised here all over the world. Let children pursue their dreams, because dreams do come true.”
And of course, Manuel is finding his place in “Eyes on” because he painting Michael Jackson:
“I hope you guys like it my big MJ will be a serie of three MJ and right here is the first one 🙂 I made his iconic jacket with diamond dust!!”
He also painted MJ in the Bad era and part of a set of celebrities series:
