About the Artist
" Originally from Valencia, Mankey creates works that can certainly be classified as a part of what we define as urban art, but the true value and extent of his work is hidden well beyond its surroundings and visuals. The artist himself often describes this "tucked away" meaning fueling his work as the "human heart"
- Widewalls Magazine
" Under the name Mario Mankey, I manifest the underlying contradictions between human and primate. My work focuses on the Anthropocene, created and accelerated by our patriarchal system. I approach human behaviors I find disturbing, highlighting the eternal inconsistencies that characterize the modern individual as a result of their ambitions and limitations.
The aesthetic game displays diversion but also sarcasm. Thus, the works are addressed at a diverse but thoughtful audience, capable to comprehend the artistic dialogue proposed. The pieces adopt different formats such as installations, canvases , street murals, comic books and are subject to any new challenge that might arise, being always loyal to this biting relationship."- Mario Mankey
