About Norlie Meimban
My interest in the arts came from my father, who is himself an artist. Exposed in the arts since childhood, I was given full reign to dabble in art materials until I decided to take Fine Arts at the University of the Philippines. With my background in the arts as foundation, I strove to learn and discover more in my studies in school.
I seriously became engrossed with anatomy as I was inspired by the expertise of Andrew Loomis. My strong influences aside from my father came from the likes of Rembrandt, Dali, Van Gogh, Juan Luna and those who painted in the Impressionist and Expressionist styles.
I am confident in using almost all media, including oil, pastel, acrylic, and graphite. I use these different materials depending on my mood and the subject matter at hand.
As an animator, I am now currently integrating concepts from animation into my art. The subject of time, movement, transformation and combination of spaces intrigue me. A series of works based on these are underway for my upcoming art exhibits.
