"Digital Whispers"
✦ Artist's Note
"Manoel dos Santos lays hands on metal canvases, etching the sprint of a marathon's final mile into the grooves of recycled iron. Layers of foggy London hues blend, where anticipation meets the weight of vigilance — material wrestling like butterflies caught in the haze of cyber duels. Each brushstroke whispers the tale of tireless runners and the silent spread of digital wings."
