CV

S. Manneraak is an internationally recognized photographer and visual artist, known for his unique fusion of photography, painting, and digital art. After a distinguished career as a fashion photographer, collaborating with international brands—including Vogue and Chanel.—he has fully transitioned into the art world, where his work pushes the boundaries of visual storytelling.

In 2008, he founded SVA Magazine, an internationally distributed fashion and art publication that blends Scandinavian aesthetics with global creative trends, reaching readers in over 26 countries

Manneraak’s artistic practice blends photography, digital manipulation, painting, and sculpture, creating evocative and immersive pieces that challenge perception. His work has been exhibited in major cities worldwide, from New York to Rome, and is held in both public and private collections.

His artistic debut came with the Norwegian State Exhibition (Høstutstillingen) in 2004, marking the beginning of a series of solo and group exhibitions in Norway and internationally. In addition to traditional gallery work, Manneraak has executed large-scale commissions and public installations, reinforcing his position as an innovative voice in contemporary art.

Constantly evolving, he continues to experiment with film, graphic art, and sculpture, expanding his creative universe beyond photography. His latest works reflect a deep engagement with themes of nature, memory, and transformation, offering viewers a striking and thought-provoking visual experience.


"As his unique talent looks to achieve new challenges and expression, Manneraak promises to be a creative star and influence in the ever changing and evolving world of art".
