Manuel Monir Bestene

Multidisciplinary Artist

Manuel Monir Alberto Bestene is a multidisciplinary artist whose work intertwines his political background in Argentina and Lebanese heritage.

Trained in architecture in Buenos Aires, he has been engaged in art from a young age, focusing on making it accessible to all and enhancing public spaces.

Bestene prefers to showcase his art in public rather than in traditional galleries, aiming to surprise and provide utility through his creations. His innovative projects, such as a stained glass streetlamp illuminating a local plaza, exemplify his commitment to blending functionality with beauty.

Currently based in Brussels, he continues to evolve his artistic practice, drawing on his diverse experiences to inspire and engage the community.
