About the Artwork

"Siya ang Mananalaysay" depicts a modern Filipina wearing a vibrant orange traditional gown, representing her culture and roots. In her hand, she holds the book "Lola Basyang," an anthology of short stories written by Lola Basyang (Severino Reyes's pen name), which symbolizes the power of storytelling and the importance of passing down traditions and knowledge to future generations.

This artwork was exhibited at the diplomatic reception commemorating the 125th Anniversary of Philippine Independence on June 12, 2023, at Siam Bangkok Hotel.

Vivid contrasts between bright pink, cyan, and orange create a playful and imaginative atmosphere. The surreal portrayal of a blue-skinned woman adds an element of fantasy, enhancing the overall whimsical mood.

Anne has 5 artworks

Anne is a bold artist with a passion for the contemporary art form.

She has always wanted to pursue the arts. Still, her parents wanted a future with stable employment for her, so she granted their request and completed a degree in Early Childhood Education at the De La Salle University – Dasmariñas and became a professional teacher.

Just like everyone who has struggled during the community quarantine, she needed a way to break out of the pandemic anxiety and somehow found herself rekindling her old passion. Anne realized there was always time to start an old dream, and thus, she picked up a brush and started to paint in 2020.

Today, Anne uses vibrant colors as therapy as she translates raw and honest thoughts and emotions through modern expressionism, fauvism, abstracted portraiture, pop art, and fluid paintings through acrylic on canvas.

She has exhibited her works internationally, including in Korea, Mexico, Malaysia, Thailand, and France, while locally, she frequently joins group exhibitions through Art Show Philippines (ASP), Ace of Art Organization, Aral Artist Community, and Art Lovers Philippines-Cavite Chapter (ALCAV). She was awarded as one of the Top 20 Finalists in ASP’s First ACEO Art Awards in April 2023.

Anne continues to push the boundaries of fauvism through her unique style that focuses on women's challenges and triumphs and the Filipino heritage and culture. Her artworks are loved by art enthusiasts and collectors globally, including the Philippines, Singapore, New Zealand, Austria, and the United States.
