Manuel Leromain (1994, Strasbourg) graduated in 2022 from the textile design departement at La Cambre (ENSAV) Currently residing and living in Brussels, his work is manifested by the creation of tapestries that are “like paintings that you hang in your room, or a window that looks out onto a garden.” For him, textiles are a way of transposing moods and atmospheres through the prism of color. He enjoys associating, composing and highlighting the qualities of colors through his collages, patterns and textile experiments.
