JORGE MAÑES RUBIO (ESP)

Artist working in symbolism, ritual and hand-crafted narrative objects.

Jorge Mañes Rubio is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans embroidery, sculptural forms and hand-blown glass. His work explores the symbolic and the unseen, drawing on mythology, archaeology and ritual traditions to create talismanic objects that carry presence and meaning.

NEW PROPHETS

For REVUSD, Jorge Mañes Rubio created New Prophets: three hand-embroidered works inspired by an 8th-century Spanish manuscript where Romanesque, Islamic and Byzantine influences meet.

Each piece is built through slow, meticulous beadwork - including glass beads and bag charms the artist hand-blown in Venice. Layer by layer, the compositions honour non-human species and elevate leather into symbolic, talismanic forms.
