Tosha Albor   Primordial Expression inspiration

These amazingly powerful, experimental drawings and paintings are the creations of Tosha Albor. Tosha is a visual artist born in Manila and currently based in San Francisco. She completed a BTEC in Fine Art at the University for the Creative Arts in Canterbury, UK. In her work she embrasses the act of construction and deconstruction, with the addition of mark-making and free flowing narratives being another important factor driving her paintings.
