  2. ENGLISH

    Manuel Francisco Murillo Perdomo, aka 13pulsions, was born in Colombia 24 years ago, from an Italian mother and
    a Colombian father. The young artist has a master’s degree in psychology and is now perfecting his studies in psychoanalysis
    and marketing. After his artistic debuts as a graffiti artist, he presently expresses himself through paintings and the creation
    of fashion accessories or elements of decoration, using acrylic colours or sprays and markers. After several group exhibitions,
    in Brussels, Madrid and Milan, 13pulsions took part in the last two editions of “Truc Troc” of Bozar . Since 2008, he exhibits
    permanently at the Brussels’ gallery Artemptation. In this quality, he has taken part in an exhibition where, among others,
    Denis Meyers was represented, as well as in a number of exhibitions in Brussels and Paris. Last August, he was invited to
    participate in the exhibition Plastic explosive, which took place in the annex to the Gésu Church in Brussels.
    “The street is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the painter Manuel Francisco Murillo. His a-typical characters are
    the results of chance encounters on the road, in different cities of the world. Their faces, often with dark complexions and
    intense expressions, communicate human interest stories. For his portraits Manuel Francisco makes use of the graffiti technique
    in keeping with his artistic origins related to the urban fabric.
    With his passion for psychology and the study of human psyche, Manuel Francisco injects life into his women and men who
    are portrayed as unique and at the same time complex characters.”

    Truc-Troc au BOZAR et rejoint les galeries bruxelloises Artemptation, La Galerie.be , La galerie 15 et Dérapage Art Gallery.

    et Paris.
    En octobre dernier, il participe également pour la seconde fois à l’exposition Plastic, ayant eu lieu au sein des Anciennes
    Brasseries Belle Vue à Bruxelles.
    "La rue regorge d’influences pour le peintre Manuel Francisco Murillo Perdomo. Ses personnages atypiques proviennent
    de rencontres opérées à l’extérieur. Majoritairement, il s’agit d’hommes au teint mat et aux traits tirés par le poids
    des histoires vécues. Manuel Francisco emploie le graff, une technique au plus proche de ses influences urbaines pour concevoir
    ses portraits. Passionné de psychologie, il fait vivre ses personnages en leur attachant un caractère unique et complexe. "
