About the Artwork
The composition is a personal anecdote told through a dream-like world. Its elements represent life's different stages in actuality and of like inside the mind--unknowingly interconnected and never to be detached.
The intention behind the work was to venture into my subconscious thoughts, memories even, with the thought of entangling the strings and collating them into one. Ultimately, it creates a sense of peace with the knowledge that nothing is absolute, and we all end up at the same place in the same lifetime.

commissioned work.
Raised in Pasay with two brothers, Esmeralda discovered her interest in art through her brother, taking painting lessons from Maestro Orobia in 2010. She would vaguely replicate a few of her brother’s worksheets but fail as she had no prior art education.
This interest bloomed into creating when she entered primary school a few years later. She was one of her school’s go-to contestants for on and off-campus art competitions.
She took up an art strand at the University of Santo Tomas, where she was educated properly. She received her bachelor's degree, majoring in painting, in 2022.
Her works revolve around subconscious and vivid ideas about the world and her mundane experiences while actively including visual commentaries about various societal and psychosocial struggles. Her bright-colored polychromatic works feature surrealistic elements that help to convey her message through symbolism and visual storytelling.
Throughout the years, she has explored various mediums, from oil pastels to acrylic paints. She has liked the fluidity and opacity of gouache and acrylic paints.
Esmeralda wishes to create art that speaks what she cannot articulate into words and to create art that consoles people and validates their hardships and experiences.
She takes heavy inspiration from Alfredo Esquillo, Tokwa Penaflorida, and Rodel Tapaya.
