A bit of a mixture between photo manipulation / visual and digital art.
Filipino artist Michael Vincent Manalo, has a versatile mind, that tends to venture out of the box, in the realms of the (surreal) and conceptual art spaces. His (digital art), almost looks like a picture was taken of a person's mind, mid-dream, where a story is just unfolding. As viewers, we are in a fantastic position to fill-in the blanks as to what happened before this point and what might happen after it. Before we attempt this reconstruction, of Manalo's (paintings), we have to study his art and look at all of the details that might give an indication as to where the protagonist came from and where they are going. The titles can be a good starting point. Ps. I have added a couple of titles as they were not present on the original images.
