Manel Sellarès

Sellarès began painting when he was in primary school. He studied music (solfeggio, piano, and guitar) and art at the School of Applied Arts in Terrassa, which was then part of La Llotja. He is a member of the Cultural Association Friends of the Arts and the Terrassa Chess Club.

He leaned more toward practice than studies, and instead of entering the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona, after passing the entrance exams, he formed the experimental music group Belmondo and decided to travel to New York.

Throughout his career, he has encountered artists who have contributed to his development, both personally and artistically, such as Eloi Rocamora, Antoni Padrós, Richard Hamilton, Francesca Llopis, Nazario, Perico Pastor, Eugeni Bonet, Toni Riera, Carlos Pazos, among others.

He has exhibited at Sala Parés, the A Punt Gallery in Badalona, the H₂O Gallery, and the Chez Xefo Art Gallery, among others. He has also exhibited in museums such as the Joan Miró Foundation, the Museum of Badalona, and the Soler Palet Municipal Hall in Terrassa. Additionally, the Sabadell Bank Foundation has purchased several of his works.
