About this artwork
"Got One" was painted in Biscarosse, in the pine forests of southwest France, during a two-week residency I improvised from a rented house.
The figure carries the particular energy of someone who got one wave and considers the day a complete success. I never surfed that summer. I checked the beach every day. The waves were always flat. Two weeks passed. I painted this instead.
"Got One" is part of Drop 003, a three-painting collection made during… the same French stay. Acrylic, oil pastels, and objects found — or manufactured — in France. 100 × 80 cm.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Gio Manveli is a self-taught painter based in Amsterdam, blending acrylics, oil pastels, markers, and found objects to breathe life into everyday scenes. His energetic, expressive style features bold characters with exaggerated features, messy lines, and a playful mix of reality and imagination. Through layered, intuitive techniques and vibrant contrasts, he crafts glimpses of beautiful chaos—evoking humor, tenderness, and a warm acceptance of imperfection. Manveli’s art radiates playful humanity, inviting the viewer to embrace vulnerability, find joy in the ordinary, and rediscover life’s messy wonder.
