Almer Moneda puts a spotlight on the past in order to move forward. ManilaBulletin
Some people believe there is no reason for us to look back on the past in order to move forward and brave what lies ahead. But this is what exactly artist Almer Moneda wants to debunk in his latest exhibition “Empowering Nostalgia.”Through his works, Moneda reminds his viewers about the beauty of life’s simplicity and the happiness it gives to people who value it.
“My deepest inspiration is the life of the past,” he says. “My latest exhibit entitled ‘Empowering Nostalgia’ depicts how life is about going back to these slower, more meaningful activities that remind us of the good, old days. My past exhibition, held last March 2022 at Galerie Raphael UP Town Center, was about the memories of the street. That’s why it was entitled ‘Calles y Memorias.’”
Through colorful backgrounds and black and white subjects in “Nostalgia,” he also highlighted some of the forgotten cultures and practices of Filipinos. In, he brings back his viewers to the years before cars were invented, where people traveled riding a kalesa or a horse-drawn carriage while enjoying the fresh air and the warm breeze.
