Manto Art Gallery is at Paleochora Chania (Crete) and it is operating since 2003.
It is a Greek art place.
The paintings of the artist Manto leave the viewer with a sense of Greece and they are inspired by the Greek Folk tradition.
A tradition that is preserved until these days, by giving wonderful paintings of an art that is alive and thriving, allowing the viewer to “travel” in the magic of color through pictures of past times.
In this journey that we plan to take through the following pages, we hope to bring you a sense of the wonderful folk art, the love about life, the Greek sunny sky, the deep blue of the sea, but also simple everyday thinks that make us better persons, and all these through the Greek traditional art.
Thank you for this journey.
