Text from the artist

Not to be rude but...what are you doing in Iceland with your face? 

(exasperated sigh)

Melanie Ubaldo (born 1992, Philippines) graduated with a BA in Fine Arts from LHI (Iceland University of the Arts) in 2016. In Melanie's work image and text are inextricably linked, where deconstructionist paintings incorporate texts with graffiti like vandalism oftentimes of her own crude experiences of others preconceptions thus exposing the power of immediate unreflected judgment. She has taken part in various group exhibitions locally and abroad; to name a few Kling & Bang, Hafnarborg, Gerðarsafn, Cycle Music and Arts Festival in Berlin and Argentina. Her work has since been acquired by the Reykjavik Art Museum for the permanent collection. Melanie is also a co-founder of Lucky 3, a collective of Icelandic artists of Filipino origins.
