Filipino American History Celebration Spotlight Artist
Lydia Ortiz has a multidisciplinary practice, including illustration, design, art director and photography. For her campaign poster, Ortiz wove in symbolic elements from the Filipino flag, the sun and the 3 stars, as well as red, yellow, blue, and white colors. She also incorporated floral elements from back home (Gumamela, Sampahuita and Rosal). Lastly, the brushwork on the letters was inspired by Filipino brushwork on alibata.
