Artist Ginny Guanco unveils her latest exhibition, "Her World," showcasing a stunning portrayal of feminine strength and beauty through vibrant colors and bold strokes. The exhibition, her third solo show, captures the essence of womanhood with captivating allure.
Guanco's artistic journey began at the young age of 8, driven by a fascination with the female form. Her early sketches of women in fashionable attire laid the groundwork for her formal education in Fine Arts at the University of Sto. Tomas. Additional studies in the United States expanded her repertoire, while mentorship under Salvacion Lim Higgins, renowned designer and co-founder of Slim’s Fashion & Art School, refined her skills.
In 2024, Guanco makes a triumphant return with "Her World," a collection described as "aggressive and bolder." Comprising 26 paintings, the exhibition marks her liberation from creative constraints. "Here, I’m no longer held back and afraid to go out of the box," Guanco expresses, reflecting on her artistic evolution.
One can still see the distinct touch and personaty of Guanco through her works - bright, joyful colors, intricate designs, and thoughtful details. All these signature elements persist in her experimental use of oil pastel. watercolor, acrylic, brush pens and Sharpie pens. However, one can more deeply appreciate the evolution of her style, which now boasts a newfound confidence, freedom, and power – certainly the rewards of her courageous introspection over the years.
“In her day-to-day life, a woman wears many hats – a mother, a homemaker, a housewife, an executive, a creative, etc. But despite all these labels, she is not defined by them. She is more than all these roles. Women have greater depth and mystery, which I find truly fascinating,” Ginny shares.
Her World will be unveiled at Gateway Gallery Studio in Araneta City on March 16, 2024, coinciding with Women’s month. “Women empowerment has always been a recurring theme in my exhibits. When you express power, people often confuse this with being dominant and domineering. However, women are able to convey this power, while also retaining their femininity and inner strength. She knows what she wants and she knows what she’s capable of doing,” says Ginny.
