Born on January 6, 1974, of French nationality and passionate about art and antique furniture, Nicolas Mannarini ran an antiques store in the 2000s. After the changeover to the euro, the antique dealer's profession having become difficult, he stopped this activity to return to his initial profession: carpentry and joinery. Woodworking then allowed him to rediscover the nobility of beautiful pieces while painting in his spare time. Admiring the works of the 16th-18th centuries and having taken drawing and painting classes in the 80s, he expressed himself in 2007 through painting, first creating for his loved ones before exhibiting in 2022-2023 in markets and art shops. His works, made in oil, acrylic, ink, and impasto, are now sold in France, the United States, Germany and Japan. He has since opened a gallery in a beautiful village in Charente, while collaborating with SINGULART, an international art sales platform.
