Born in Ireland, Patrick Manning migrated to Peru enchanted by its natural landscapes and culture. He studied architecture and specialized in stained glass windows, which eventually led him to find the perfect combination of the two.
He traveled to Peru regularly until he decided to stay permanently in 1991. He taught for two years, until he decided to dedicate his time entirely to stained glass art. "The transformation process my designs go through when applied to glass fascinates me. I am drawn by the intensity and depth of light and color," confides Manning. He crafts mosaics, mirrors and decorative compositions at his workshop; "My work reflects my search for the integration of architecture with environment, mosaic and glass work." His art has found wide acceptance, and he has worked on commission for several important hotel chains, including the Marriott Hotel.
He hopes Novica clients will appreciate the uniqueness of his work, which is born of personal inspiration and imagination.
