A look at the Works of Martina Marie Manalo

written by Houke de Kwant on August 23, 2016

Our next artist in this series is Martina Marie Manalo, a performing artist, visual artist, writer, and designer, but most of the time a contemporary mixed media artist, whose works are inspired from the dreams of the clouds, nostalgic, melancholic memories and teenage angst.

Martina: My abstract works explore the release of nervous tension from a universal perspective; from subjective and objective viewpoints.

“I see beauty in the things the that are minimal but avant-garde, things that are deep but subtle, the nostalgic, melancholic, but full of angst–contradicting but by bits and pieces they are different, and will always be mysterious. That I think is what make things beautiful.”
