Romando (Manny) Love

About Manny
Signing every piece of art 'Romando as Manny Love' Manny Love embodies the concept of the artist as an extension of one's personality. Love's colorful creations reflect his admiration of jazz, classical, new age, and rock music. Using a assortment of media, including oil pastel, acrylic, watercolor and clay, Love works with one image or word-set to build a series totaling twenty or more individual pieces that are a variation on one theme. From his 'New Age People of Jazz' in 2007 to his more recent 'Evil Kung Fu Fighting Women' of 2010, Manny expresses the ongoing struggle between good and evil, past and present, always within reference to the utopian idea of a 'New Age World'. Words play an important role in his work, poetically rhythmic ruminations not unlike the jazz rhythms set to type by the Beat Generation: "LIFE IN THE WORLD OF DO-SAINTS OF CLASSIC OF HOLLYWOOD OF FIGHTS OF VET. WAR OF TAI-CHI..." (From Love's 'Vietnam War Medals' series).
Manny is an integral part of the community of artists at Visionaries and Voices, often assisting with others in the studio and with art handling for the gallery. His dream is to be an international art millionaire one day.
