PHILIPPINES

Mori Tiomuyco

  • Mori is a visual artist. Born in Marikina City and now based in Valenzuela City. She grew up in a family where paints and brushes were always lying around the house, which had a great impact on her art skills and eventually led to her pursuing a career as an artist.

    Her works are heavily influenced by culture, nature, traditions, and human beings. Her usual subjects focus on philosophical and mystical subjects from Philippine mythology where she also uses symbolic ethnic patterns. She even includes baybayin, a Philippine system of writing that existed before the Spanish colonization.

    She aims to tell the story of the forgotten history and literature of the Philippines before it have been colonized. Through her paintings, you can trace the rich heritage of ideas handed down from the forefathers.

    As for medium, Mori is partial to acrylic paints. The colors she chooses tend toward earth tones and darker hues. Her paintings are immediately recognizable for their strong presence and bold design elements.
