After years of national recognition in Spain for his work, Fernando Manso focuses on his photography from over 20 years ago with his latest collection, Jardines de las Colinas de la Alhambra. Currently considered one of the best photographers in the country, he has become part of Spain's culture and history by sharing his subjective and magical perspective of what surrounds him. Madrid, Spain and other places worldwide have inspired his numerous exhibits and books.

He launched his career as a creative photographer in 2008, slowly leaving behind his work in advertising. Madrid, which has always been so close to his heart, placed him in the creative spotlight nationally and internationally. He then expanded into other places in the country that he believed needed to get the attention they deserved. Jardines de las Colinas de la Alhambra is a collection focusing on the Islamic historical influence in Spain, shown in different national locations since 2015. For the exhibit to travel worldwide, the artist created a company called Alhambra Worldwide, looking to share this collection under the tagline "To Contemplate and Listen to La Alhambra", which began its tour in Marrakech under the sponsorship of the Ministry of Culture.
