About
Michael Vincent Manalo - Artyści, sztuka i artefakty ED-Wall Art
About the artist:I'm a self taught digital mixed media artist who creates my art through merging scenes that have been captured within my mind with scenes that have been captured by hand to create the living space that my subconscious tries to convey.. Creating my artworks through my chosen medium was brought about by my frustration in the traditional process of painting, which as a result has given me even more possibilities to recreate the visceral levels contained within the vast assemblage of my spirit.Artist Statement: Life has always been a fascination to me. From those inevitable school fights during the elementary years to those wild days of puberty. From the lonesome people in the parks to the 8-inched mohawked people during concerts. From feeling someone else's warmth to dealing with the blackness within. There were a lot of emotions - pain, happiness, love and warmth, glory, success, failures, torture, jealousy, excitement, rage, pride. All these converged and met at a common point in time and space and created who I am, what I want to explore and what I hope to achieve.Vast images come to my mind each day as a result of the radical emotions that fill me in each heartbeat. I try to recreate it as soon as I could by combining photographs and techniques in illustration to recreate those concepts in mind.I forge these images and try to relate them to the popular tales of human drama. I try to recreate these stories by illustrating my own interpretations of these emotions or sometimes literally creating the picture wherein the emotion can be distinguised.When I started, I wasn't aware that I started a quest: so for now, until I decide to stop, I will try to free people's minds, and allow them to withdraw from reality and give them the opportunity to dig into a wild roller coaster of a vivid dream.

My objective is to be able to present well-known evocative stories to the eyes of the eventful and busy demands of today's society. These stories range from the short-lived yet memorable accounts of true freedom, tales of despair and misery to the simple yet memorable days of pure ecstasy; from a collection of vivid dreams and daydreams to symbolisms of honest life to ostentatious accounts of everyday living. I present all these through my chosen art form - digital mixed media.EXHIBITion HISTORY:Solo Exhibitions:The Ever Increasing Distance to Life Solo Exhibit The Kulay-Diwa Gallery of Philippine Contemporary Art 25 Lopez Avenue, Lopez Village,Sucat Paranaque City, Metro Manila 1700, Philippines August - September 2010Opowieci gawdziarza (Tales from the Story Teller): Galeria Wzgorze - 43-300 Bielsko-Biala ul.
