Roman Manikhin is an interdisciplinary artist who invites us into his world of colorful celebration of life and freedom. One of the most pronounced themes in his work is sexuality, often depicted through lively illustrations. Manikhin’s works express a playful and powerful nature that conveys his longing for a fleeting lover. Manikhin is not afraid to let his intense emotions and vibrant colors overshadow his artworks. Both paintings and wooden sculptures stand out with their bright hues, provocative poses, and nudity, liberated from restrictive social norms and expectations.

Roman Manikhin (b. 1977) lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
