Instagram- @mapc.art Michelle Anne Polo Camua is a British-Filipina multidisciplinary artist with a BA in Interior Architecture from London Metropolitan University. Firmly identifies as a Third Culture Kid; born in Malaysia, spending several years in the Philippines and China; and growing up mainly in the United Kingdom. She has travelled to Africa, around Asia and Europe. She loves travelling and has experienced a range of cultures and has developed a further understanding of humanity and society. The experiences she carries during her travels have inspired her creative work. She believes art and design are expressions of the human spirit. Highly fascinated by human emotions and sensitive world issues such as looking after the green and blue planet, mental wellness, cancer awareness, feminism, black lives matter (BLM) and human trafficking. For her strong belief in feminism in art and architecture industries, she has participated in several WIA (Women in Architecture) events of RIBA. In early 2020, she has collaborated with several artists creating posters to communicate key messages during the Covid-19 pandemic and later submitted the work to the United Nation. During the pandemic, she enjoyed discussing with loved ones, friends, creatives and even strangers on their life reflections, fears, nightmares, anxiety and other chaotic thoughts. One has stated, “He or she who is willing to be the most uncomfortable is not only the bravest but rises the fastest.” As people opening up to her with their stories she finds them inspiring and sees blessings in their pain and struggles. Therefore, she embraces these in her artwork. Her collections of work are freehanded and appear both colourful and in black and white with dark concepts, using the stippling technique to produce details and contrasts in different level of shades to create depth. Specialise in creating t-shirt designs, print designs, logos, illustrations and private commissions.
