About
Michelle Alde (b. 2000) is a Filipino contemporary visual artist specializing in oil painting. She studied Fine Arts at the University of the Philippines Diliman. Alde delves into themes of introspection and sentimentality through her drapery paintings. Unveiling her fascination with the texture and movement of fabric, she paints her pieces with meticulous intricacy while maintaining freedom in her brushstrokes. Through exploring the fluid interaction between the fabric and the figures in her works, Alde plays with the curiosity of gradually uncovering hidden aspects of human emotion.
Alde's work has been featured in numerous group exhibitions at contemporary art galleries in the Philippines. Her most recent works have been exhibited at Altro Mondo Creative Space (Makati), The Grey Space (San Juan), Faculty Projects (Pasig), vMeme Contemporary Art Gallery (Pasig), and more. She has also participated in art fairs such as Art in the Park, Xavier Art Fest, and The Manila'Bang Show, and has engaged in collaborative projects, including Lactacyd's Museum of Speaking Skin in September 2025.
