Mother Earth, Her Turn to Rest

Secret Fresh was born from a passion for collecting. What was once a childhood pastime had become a hub for mining new talent in the cross pollinating fields of graffiti, comics, film, animation, music, architecture, fine art and design. This commitment has grown to facilitate and showcase further this thriving field through its gallery. Located in Ronac Art Center, the primary hub for contemporary street fashio n, design and lifestyle, and a landmark of innovative architecture, Secret Fresh likewise, is a pioneer in engaging local and foreign artists, both emerging and established ones, for collaborations on limited edition art toys and prints, coming up with truly contemporary pieces that are an alchemical mix of art and design, craft and commodity, timelessness and currency. This engagement extends to having monthly exhibits of artists not limited to the traditional media, but to those who are daring to venture into exploring new forms that spark fresh dialogue and perspectives on the contemporary urban experience. This endeavor would hopefully herald a new era of appreciating art beyond its conventional boundaries. Lianne STEFFI Lim aka "STEFFI ü" from the Philippines worked for 12 years as a professional interior designer before turning to a full-time artist. She graduated from UST as Magna Cum Laude and landed 6th on the 2010 board exams. She's highly obsessed with watching history documentaries and studying about society and culture. Strongly advocating for mental health awareness, being diagnosed as neurodiverse herself, her art therapy sessions ignited her love of making one-off pieces that serves as an alternate diary for her thoughts and feelings. She is currently focused on making her own line of art toys and painting but still camouflages herself as an ordinary highly-caffeinated, One-Piece-loving hunter of cute and nostalgic objects or a collector of toys and vinyl records.
