Pablo Manrique was born in Bogotá, Colombia on September 28, 1984. His father was a lawyer, his mother an architect. Pablo grew up amongst his mother’s drawings and his grandmother’s paintings – both would inspire him to cultivate his talents.

Born into a family with a passion for horses, Pablo began to practice equestrianism and to participate in competitions at a young age. Always in close contact with horses by day and at times by night, when he would camp in the pasture where they grazed, he formed a special bond with these animals, who brought great peace and serenity into his life.
