Manon Hermans (b. 1995, Borgerhout, Belgium, lives and works in Antwerp) is a visual artist under the alias manonina.

In 2019 she graduated from the Willem de Kooning Academy, in Rotterdam, with a degree in Arts & Illustration. Since then, she created visuals and murals for magazines, newspapers, brands, and cultural organizations, exploring psychological and social themes while promoting a more sustainable and inclusive world.

Manon’s practice translates conceptual and cultural narratives into vivid color compositions. Through layered imagery, she builds immersive worlds where nature, symbolism, and emotion converge between the real and the dreamlike.
