| Your Personal Biography |
Manuel Vermeire was born in Chiusdino (Siena) on July 12th 1987, the son of Belgian parents who had moved to Italy a few years earlier. He has completed his arts study at the Istituto d'Arte Duccio di Buoninsegna in Siena, obtaining the Maturità Artistica in July 2007.
He decided to direct his artistic efforts towards the traditional graphic techniques of engraving and printmaking. He was awarded a scholarship that enabled him to enroll at the internationally renowned institute Il Bisonte in Firenze, Italy. For the full calender year of 2008 he is engaged in a very intensive training course (1400 hours) known as the Qualifica Professionale. This allows him to gain a profound insight into techniques as etching, aquatint, drypoint, mezzotint and burin engraving. His teachers are Vincenzo Burlizzi and Manuel Ortega.
