Abstract floral art shines in 'Elysian'
MEET THE ARTIST Katrina Cuenca
Katrina Cuenca's art, with its graceful, "petal-like abstract figurations," is a celebration of light and happiness.
Yet, as her latest solo exhibit, "Elysian," opens at Art Lounge Manila, we discover that the seemingly tranquil works are born from a deeply personal journey of healing and resilience.
Katrina revealed that her signature style, characterized by "very flowy figures" and bright palettes, began as a way to process grief after the passing of her mother. "I found peace in painting how I wanted to feel," she shares. "That has been the foundation of my art since it was my tribute to her." This foundation gives her work a powerful underlying essence that has remained constant even as her style has evolved.
