In April 2015 Artist Manss Aval was featured in the prestigious Galleria360’s Mostra collettiva Internation-ART exhibit in Italy. The Artist’s work, namely Tempest of Change was featured in the Galleria360 exhibit and attracted a tremendous amount of praise. The following is a review of Manss Aval’s Art by the Galleria360.
“Manss Aval is an artist with a multifaceted personality, able to quite naturally go from photography to painting or mixed techniques. The wide cultural background, where studies in media and communication interweave constantly with a deep interest in the sciences, and continuously feeds his creativity flowing in an imaginative grandeur capable of generating works of great visual impact. In fact, the artist redefines the boundaries between photography and painting, creating powerful images, where the painting technique is inspired by the artifacts and camouflage effects of the camera.
The striking use of color, the skilled and breezy manipulation of reality, producing floating and ambiguous images, imaginative utopias, where the subjects have no longer definable limits and seem about to evaporate, diluted in polychrome enveloping masses, or be swallowed by the swirling chromatic dynamism. All Aval’s artworks are marked by an extremely vital creative tension.

Vanguard Art Platform reviewed Artist Manss Aval in their latest ‘Vanguard Visionaries: Art of Creativity‘ for several of his pieces that were submitted and featured by the Art Platform NYC.
Artist Manss Aval
…With a playful sense of freedom and an energetic vibrancy his works surge
with an expressive abstraction, filled with explosive movements of color and
texture. But it is the rhythmic spontaneity and raw dynamism that truly
captures the viewer.
Abstracted and instinctive, Aval’s work explores visual ideas rather than
narrative or technical concepts-and yet it is almost uncanny how emotive and
formal the finished product becomes. In some works monolithic shapes of
sapphire and crimson explode against the delicate shards of ice white. In
others we see rainbow-colored clouds that pile up to become an exercise in
rhythm and tone.
A personal favorite of mine, Manss Aval’s Polar Bird, was one of the artworks featured by the Art Platform NYC:

Beach Sculpture by Manss Aval
Dr. Gardill and Martina Kolle selected Manss Aval’s art, Beach Sculpture, Out of Nowhere, and Wagner Moment for inclusion in the 2015 edition and wrote the following review on the Artist and his paintings:
The painter and photographer Manss Aval derives his artistic inspiration from contact with Nature. His painterly photographs with their wide ranging
perspective radiate the freedom of the landscape. This likewise applies to the detail, such as in “Beach Sculpture”. The motif is not immediately
apparent, but one is immediately impressed by the photograph’s melancholic mood and spectacular colors. The pale yellow leaves swim as if on a pearl string partly above and below the water surface in which a white cloudy sky is reflected.
Out of Nowhere by Manss Aval
“Out of Nowhere” appears at first like a long walk through different wooden
gates at the end of which light is awaiting. This prompts associations with
images of near death or out of body experiences. Aval reveals the vista
under one of the gates in the water with fog raising. The mysterious
emanating light creates a fascinating perspective.
Wagner Moment by Manss Aval
Two dark blue bands sandwiching a white one-the overpowering minimalized photographic composition of “Wagner Moment” could be deriving from the
artist’s color palette. The low lying, bright horizon above the ocean provides the image’s calmness, whereas the overwhelming, heavy sky occupying three quarters of the photo creates the drama which Aval associates with Richard Wagner’s music. The color experience here differs from that of the other two water scenes. However, Aval’s gripping photography always evokes
deep emotions in the viewer.
