The Making-of series by the Chilean-Spanish painter Manuel Terán (Santiago, 1974) is a group of oil paintings that dialogue with the history of cinema through the reinterpretation of emblematic scenes. His proposal is distinguished by focusing on the aesthetics of the "behind the scenes", exploring the mechanisms of construction of the cinematographic image from a perspective close to appropriationism. In this context, his work establishes a visual dialogue with the legacy of filmmakers such as Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock and Federico Fellini, whose influences are recognized both in the composition and atmosphere of his works.
A Chilean artist living in Spain, with a degree in Fine Arts, Manuel Terán has developed his creative work in the field of plastic arts and new technologies applied to art. Since he became known in 1995 at the Salón de Otoño del Círculo de Bellas Artes in Santiago de Chile, he has held solo exhibitions and participated in group shows and fairs in Latin America and Europe. He has received awards such as the Real Academia de San Carlos de Valencia (2004).
