Seven rings. One survives. A survival contest for artists — shown to you painting by painting.
Seven questions
What if a book could do all of this?
What if it's a survival game — where artists compete?
100 artists. 7 rings. 1 winner.
What if it doesn't tell you the battle — it shows you the paintings?
Ring 1 begins with the Art Movements.
What if it's written in poems, but reads like a novel?
166 poems. 66 paintings. One story.
What if a book about an art contest is made entirely by an artist?
Text, paintings, and cover — all by the author.
What if the book has its own original theme song?
Find the LAB song & readings on Instagram — @marjowyn.
What if the art holds the answer you've been searching for?
The exhibition is open. You're already inside it.
What if you could preview the first three chapters — free?

“I curl, tucking my knees on my side.
I get reminded of a space unoccupied.
Light peeks through my window like someone who once tried.”
Live Art Battles — Marjowyn Vito
About the artist & author
Marjowyn Vito
Marjowyn Vito is a Filipino multidisciplinary artist, poet, and author whose work spans painting, literature, and music. His debut novel Live Art Battles merges 166 poems and 66 original paintings into a single narrative — a competition where art is survival.
