Meet the Visionaries Behind Maria Tropikala
From concept to camera, Maria Tropikala is the radiant result of a collaborative beauty shoot that reimagines Fernando Amorsolo’s Filipina muse through the lens of Gen Z. Maria Tropikala channels the warmth and grace of Amorsolo’s rural subjects, but she’s reborn in the language of today’s youth: bold, tropical, and unapologetically expressive.
Together, they crafted Maria Tropikala not just as work, but as a movement—one that invites viewers to rethink heritage, embrace hybridity, and celebrate the tropical soul of the Filipino youth.
