Artist Biography / Artist Statement

Gracinha “Inha” Arceo (b. 1994) is a contemporary artist from the Philippines whose work moves between playfulness and depth. Exhibiting globally—from Manila to New York, London, Madrid, Lisbon, and Monaco—she brings a distinct Filipino voice to the international art scene.

Arceo refined her practice through classical training in drawing and painting at the Florence Academy of Art in Italy, which inspired her to work primarily with oil paint and acrylic, merging figuration with expressionist energy.

Through bold color and fluid form, she makes emotion visible and identity in motion.

Her practice is both personal and collective: to elevate Filipino art globally, to encourage others to create, and to honor her heritage through a contemporary lens.

For her, painting is a space for empowerment, connection, and emotional truth.
