CV
The photographer and artist S. Manneraak is up and coming in the art world after several years as a well known fashion photographer with clients worldwide. After great success and hard work in the commercial business, Manneraak wants to reinvent his artistic side with a new name and a broader approach to concepts and the art of photography. In addition to photography, digital art and painting, he is experimenting with other expressions through film, graphics and sculptures.
Manneraak had his debut in the Norwegian State Exhibition in 2004, after the debut, he has produced several separate exhibitions in Norway and abroad. The Norwegian prime minister and the minister of industry, as well as the major of Bergen, all have Manneraak artwork on their walls. These artworks are all commissioned by Bergen Naeringsraad (the Bergen board of industry).
"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".
