With Fish Vendor , Viviane Ortiz Mauske pays homage to a popular scene deeply rooted in the Filipino collective memory: that of women fish sellers. Through a bold graphic treatment, somewhere between cubism and primitive art, the artist weaves a powerful dialogue between tradition and modernity.
The gaze is lost in a ballet of curved shapes, stylized bodies, and fish with decorative motifs. The luminous yellow background floods the canvas with solar energy, making the earth, blue, and pink tones vibrate. The women, with fragmented and expressive faces, stand upright, proud, in full activity: they embody strength, femininity, the memory of work, and the connection to the sea.
The work, striking in its vitality, also translates the artist's aesthetic commitment through a personal and identifiable language, rich in cultural symbols and reinvented memories.
