Pollyanna is a 25-year-old Filipina visual artist and freelance illustrator based in Manila. She started to draw at a very young age and art has always been her medium of expression. She earned a Certificate of Fine Arts majoring in Visual Communication at the University of the Philippines. She aims to create resonating art. Most of her works are portraits inspired by the concept of subtle emotionality, highlighting the beauty and strength of vulnerability and human emotions. Her work often displays a mix of distorted abstract, figurative elements blending in with the subject matter and creating dreamlike, surreal pieces. Her art focuses on empowerment and self acceptance, many pieces shedding light on mental health. She channels her own struggles into her work to create art that people can relate to on an emotional level.
