Dario Manjate

Dario Manjate is a Mozambican-born, South African-based artist celebrated for his intricate collage portraits crafted from recycled magazine cuttings. His work bridges fine detail with bold imagery: from afar, his portraits appear strikingly realistic, while up close, fragments of text and imagery reveal deeper layers of meaning. By transforming commercial media into expressive art, Manjate explores themes of consumerism, identity, and society. Each meticulously constructed piece can take months to complete, making his art both visually captivating and conceptually rich.
