Artist's Statement
Statement of Work
My vision to capture images that provoke interest and curiosity at the same time allowing the viewer to experience the beauty of all cultures. My photographs are original, curiosity provoking, aesthetically beautiful with careful attention to detail and exhibits sensitivity to the subject.
Themes evoke of: passion to life, resiliency of man, wonders of nature, religious influence on traditions and culture, reminiscence of the past, inner and outer beauty of the subject(s).
It is a way of introducing places to the less travelled, less experienced and share a captured moment from the various cultural encounters. Taken in New York City and the Philippines and other travels to Europe, Asia and Mexico.
The fusion of ideas which reflect my asian heritage combined with spontaneity and humor are revealed to the viewer.
Based in New York, Cynthia Marfori has studied at the International Center of Photography, New York University and Parson’s School of Design. A member of Society of Philippine American Artists in New York. A contributing photographer for the Filipino Reporter, a publication distributed in North America.
