Collection: Manuel Hernandez - Artist

MANUEL HERNANDEZ - DISNEY ART COLLECTION

Manuel Hernandez's paintings, brilliantly composed and bursting with vibrant color, are a visual feast. His work reflects the energy and mastery of some of the finest artists in Disney's history, capturing the magic of this timeless tradition while ushering it into the twenty-first century.

Known for his meticulous attention to detail, Manuel, a Southern California native, was traditionally trained and deeply influenced by the illustrative works of J.C. Leyendecker, Dean Cornwell, and Norman Rockwell. His background as an illustrator, combined with years of study and apprenticeship, honed his skills with pen and brush to a level that even the most discerning Disney art enthusiasts admire.

When approached to interpret Walt Disney's legacy through his art, Manuel brought a fresh perspective by incorporating a modern American theme, drawing from the very influences that shaped his early artistic journey. His passion for perfection and drive for innovation led him to blend the dominant style of muralist Diego Rivera with his illustrative techniques, creating the unique and passionate works for which he is now celebrated.
