Manuel Hernández Mompó (Valencia, October 10, 1927-Madrid, January 25, 1992) was a Spanish painter.
He began to attend the School of Arts and Crafts in Valencia at the age of thirteen, although he officially began his studies in 1943, obtaining a scholarship in 1948 for the Painters' Residence in Granada.
He held his first individual exhibition at the Mateu Gallery in Valencia in 1951. In 1954 he moved to Paris, later moving to the Spanish Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and the Netherlands.
He was one of the most prominent figures of the Spanish generation of the fifties linked to abstraction.
In 1958 he obtained a scholarship from the Juan March Foundation, dedicating himself to the study of mosaic techniques.
From his formative years he shows the influence of light, typical of the Levantine school of painters.
