Mai Pimentel De Dios | Linger

Latex on Wood
36" x 24"
2022


Inspired by the song "Linger" by The Cranberries, this piece tells tale of love, deceit and the lingering feelings of desire for an impossible relationship, an impossible situation, and an impossible partner who broke the contract of love. 
Out of pain, there is beauty.

Mai Pimentel De Dios started her full-time career as a visual artist after suffering the painful loss of her child. Known for using recycled wood and five colors of paint as her medium allowed her to be featured in PTV Channel 4 (aired January 14, 2021) and Swak na Swak Kapamilya Online (aired August 8, 2021). One of her artwork was also featured in Rappler & Manila Bulletin.  A surrealist that uses distortion to exaggerate the emotions of her subject, combined with the minimalist background and floral patterns that she created.

My artworks are part of who I am as a human being. Each piece I create is an extension of me, from birth to present and to my future self. My inspiration comes from various experiences that I translate to a more positive approach. I believe that art, at its core, should make someone feel something. If a viewer stops for a moment to think, feel, and reflect on my piece, then I have succeeded in my art.
