Coleen Gianah Sevillano, a Filipino student-artist from the University of the Philippines Diliman, creates work that challenges societal norms and explores the intersections of culture, gender, and art. With a background in the social sciences and a deep passion for art history and visual arts, she conceptualizes her pieces through the lens of these disciplines to engage with pressing political and contemporary social issues. Using visual metaphors and symbolism in her sculptures and paintings, Coleen invites her viewers to reflect on equality, lived struggles, and social truths. Her interdisciplinary approach is amplified by blending the qualities of surrealism, expressionism, and impressionism, producing thought-provoking art in 2D and 3D forms.
Actively involved in the competitive Philippine art scene, Coleen has gained recognition in national competitions in the Philippines, from Shell Corporation, Manila Bulletin, United Nations, and local governments units, among many more.
