BIOGRAPHY
Marija Vicente (b. 1988) is a visual artist working in Rizal with a bachelor’s degree in Painting from the UP College of Fine Arts.
With a long practice grounded in drawing, the scenic oil paintings of Marija Vicente are inspired by beauty, sadness, longing, trauma, sex, comedy, and a peculiar poorness of the spirit. Her carnal figures and psychedelic landscapes intimately explore how it feels to be a human being.
Her collaborative works are explorations of interpersonal connection, closeness and healing through various multimedia installations with Gail Vicente and Tanya Villanueva; writing screenplays for film (Dog Days, 2018; Papaya, 2021); contributing artist at Malantot Comix (Ranggo Espesye, 2016-present), and as the creator and co-founder of Abnoy Pipes, Inc., a brand that promotes health and healing through beauty and comedy.
She has exhibited extensively in Manila since 2007. Notable solo exhibits include United By Holes at West Gallery (2012), Break Camp at Project 20 (2015), and Deep Inside at Kaida Contemporary (2016). She is also a member of the Pawikan Art Collective.
