Via Magtoto

Known for her distinct sculptural paintings, Via Magtoto creates artworks that explore and go beyond the traditional boundaries of contemporary art. Her expertise pushes her to create immersive experiences through the integration of three-dimensional form on painted surfaces. Each work is a testament to the shared dialogue between texture, color and composition, exploring the depth of dimension of abstract concepts.

The tactile and visual elements in Magtoto’s works blend together to form vibrant and expressive meanings. Employing materials such as resin and acrylic, Magtoto intricately crafts layers that challenge the conventional themes of contemporary art, creating pieces that range from resembling archaeological found objects, like weathered stone, contrasted with sophisticated, fine surfaces. Today, her works offer a distinct type of captivation that is both beautiful and visceral. This interplay of textures and contrasts is central to her artistic expression.

This unique approach to art has earned Magtoto her rightful recognition in the wider art community, showcasing her works in various art galleries in the country.
