Pollyanna

Pollyanna (b. 1996) is a Filipina visual artist and book illustrator based in Manila, Philippines. She studied in The College of Fine Arts in University of the Philippines majoring in Visual Communication and works freelance for publishing houses. Her deep understanding for both digital and traditional mediums has led her to create unique pieces that incorporate principles from both.

Her early works are heavily inspired by her artistic journey as an illustrator. Themes surrounding femininity and flora. During the pandemic, she started exhibiting digital works in Multiple group shows and Art Fairs abroad. Her works evolve through time as she transitions to the use of oil and continues to hone her skills. Navigating complex themes through her own deep personal experiences.

Now with her lowbrow female figures, tales escaping from her creative grips with surreal themes, her works evoke a sense of calm and wonder. With serenity and innocence revealing layers of complexity through the innocent eyes and childlike appearance. Femininity blooms under a curious blanket of skies. And bring about different windows of audiences to wonder in carefree.
