Onur Mansız (b.1986) is a painter based between Ourense, Spain, and Istanbul, whose work examines the body as a stable and consistent site of subjectivity and self-realization. His hyper-realistic oil paintings depict bodies in an ambiguous state—neither fully naked nor dressed—creating a secondary layer of meaning that engages with identity and personal experience. By positioning figures against dark, minimal backgrounds, Mansız isolates his subjects from their surroundings, allowing viewers to confront the existential and psychological concerns they carry. He uses his own body in the painting process as an active, interventionist tool, establishing an intimate dialogue with the figures he portrays. Through this approach, Mansız interrogates notions of presence, vulnerability, and the layered construction of selfhood. His works are included in museum collections and have been exhibited internationally, reflecting his engagement with contemporary painting on a global scale.
