Feli Manero trained as a painter in Barcelona at Ramón Boter and Joaquim Santaló's school. At different times she has also experimented with calligraphy and Chinese painting at Tere Vilamatas' studio and with sculpture with Carlos Marín. In Italy she attended drawing and painting courses at the Instituto per l'Arte e il Restauro in Siena.
Her painting shows the traces of her journeys in the Caribbean, Asia and Africa. She works with a wide range of techniques and materials. Her work is a constant search, an opening up to the inside to pierce the surface, to interlace planes and work the canvas, which is no longer a mere support but texture and object.
