About Sandra Manso

Biography

After nearly thirty years as a dentist, I made the decision to leave my profession and dedicate a year to discovering photography and finding my own artistic voice.

I began with portraits and landscapes, drawn to images that reveal something beyond what is visible. But it was through abstract photography, colour and movement that I discovered the language that truly resonates with me.

I have always been fascinated by abstract art and its ability to evoke emotion without defining it. In my Pulse Collection, I found that connection through water. Its movement, light and colour offer endless possibilities for expression. I have developed my own approach to photographing water, capturing fleeting moments that transform into something beyond a simple representation of nature, something to be experienced rather than merely observed.

My background in dentistry taught me patience, precision and an extraordinary attention to detail. These qualities now accompany me in my artistic practice, where I seek to capture moments that often unfold faster than the eye can perceive.

Photography has brought me a profound sense of balance and inner calm. Through my work, I hope to share that feeling and create images that allow each viewer to discover something personal within them.

I am deeply moved by the emotions and interpretations people bring to my work. Every encounter reminds me that art is not only about what the artist creates, but also about what happens within the person who experiences it.

My artistic journey is one of continuous discovery, guided by curiosity, emotion and a desire to explore new ways of seeing. Through my work, I hope to connect with those who are drawn to the beauty of abstraction and who find in art a space for personal reflection, emotion and quiet contemplation.
