About the Artwork

    The artwork is created with spite. It came from a place of hurt without the option to fight back or defend oneself. 

    The title "I Can't Hear You, You're Too Loud" is a personal message showing how a conversation can lead to arguments when one party fails to get off their high horse and listen for the sake of resolution.

    An argument is a mind game; you can only tell who's winning once you remove surface-level factors.

     

    Using soft pastel tones contrasted with pockets of darkness, a surreal and symbolic atmosphere is created, evoking a whimsical, dreamlike and out-of-this-world mood.

    Ma Esmeralda Bautista
    Cainta, Philippines

    Ma Esmeralda has 3 artworks,
    and is available for
    commissioned work.

    Raised in Pasay with two brothers, Esmeralda discovered her interest in art through her brother, taking painting lessons from Maestro Orobia in 2010. She would vaguely replicate a few of her brother’s worksheets but fail as she had no prior art education.

    This interest bloomed into creating when she entered primary school a few years later. She was one of her school’s go-to contestants for on and off-campus art competitions.

    She took up an art strand at the University of Santo Tomas, where she was educated properly. She received her bachelor's degree, majoring in painting, in 2022.

    Her works revolve around subconscious and vivid ideas about the world and her mundane experiences while actively including visual commentaries about various societal and psychosocial struggles. Her bright-colored polychromatic works feature surrealistic elements that help to convey her message through symbolism and visual storytelling.

    Throughout the years, she has explored various mediums, from oil pastels to acrylic paints. She has liked the fluidity and opacity of gouache and acrylic paints.

    Esmeralda wishes to create art that speaks what she cannot articulate into words and to create art that consoles people and validates their hardships and experiences.

    She takes heavy inspiration from Alfredo Esquillo, Tokwa Penaflorida, and Rodel Tapaya.
