Servin
Artist Manuel Servin was born in Mexico City, and started his
artistic studies of drawing and painting since he was a child,
at Manuel Bartolome Cossio elementary school, coursing the painting
workshops offered by the school in various occasions during this
period.
He then paints and draws as a hobby until he decides to course
the degree in graphic design at the National Academy of Fine
Arts at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. After the
second year of studies he changes his mayor to Graphic Arts at
The University of the Americas where he finishes the credits
to become a professional Graphic Artist. During this time he
also takes additional art and design courses; like three years
of acrylic painting at the studio of internationally renown British
artist Toby Joysmith or "Etching as a plastic media for
mass communication service". This courses helped Servin
develop his own concepts and technique.
He has been producing art-works uninterruptedly since then and
has participated in more than 50 shows, individually & collectivelly
in Mexico and abroad. He has also shown his work at both the "Art
Gardens", public squares grouping about 500 artists every
weekend, (and known as one of the largest artist associations
worldwide) since 1981, selling thousands of his works to collectors
from all over the world.
