Victoria Montinola

Painting

Based in Manila, Philippines. She paints landscapes of trees, gentle brooks and softly glowing sunsets in oil, layered with geometric lines and unexpected shapes. She combines classical painting techniques with a playful approach to color and texture. In 2025 she took part in "A Wild Sea" at Kobayashi Gallery in Minato, Tokyo, and in September 2026 in "UNCONDITIONAL," a group exhibition of thirteen Filipino artists at YOD Gallery in Tennozu, Tokyo.
