Marissa
Gonzalez was born in the Philippines and
is now a resident of Switzerland. She
has painted for the last 10 years,
during which she studied specialized
painting techniques with teachers in
France and Switzerland. Her preferred
mediums are silk, acrylic on wood and
watercolour on paper. She paints at her
"Silk Atelier."
Jusi is
the Chinese word for "raw silk" and is
the term used for the unique fabric
woven in the Philippines from silk and
pineapple fibers. When embroidered, Jusi
is the material used for Philippine
formal wear for both men and women. By
using it as her medium, Marissa Gonzalez
pays tribute to Philippine materia prima
and explores other non-traditional uses
for Jusi.
