Based in the Philippines. Born in 1996, she paints indistinct figures in thick, porcelain-like layers of impasto, exploring the intricate connections between people. Represented by Galerie Stephanie in Manila, she showed in the gallery's all-women booth at Art Fair Tokyo 2025, and in 2026 held a solo exhibition in Manila and a two-person show in Madrid almost simultaneously.
