Matina Partosa is a painter who captures the microscopic perspective discovered in the urban landscape of Manila, portraying intricacies from the gentle swirls in a glass to the reflections on the water ponds along muddy roads post-rain. Her works illuminate the fluid nature of water, skillfully playing with light, shadow, and reflection to distort perception. With an aim to expand human consciousness, she experiments with the interplay of photorealism and abstraction, capturing instances where the tangible world merges with fragmented reality.
Partosa currently lives and works in Manila, the Philippines.
