BIO

Henrielle B. Pagkaliwangan (b. Cavite, Philippines, 1994) graduated with a Bachelor of Fine
Arts degree (magna cum laude) from the University of the Philippines-Diliman in 2015. Taking off from natural history and taxonomic illustrations, she draws familiar objects and
groups them into different schemes of order to extend the capability of illustration to
represent and document things. She depicts how the numerous configurations of
categorization of our everyday items form narratives that reflect our knowledge and
experiences, which may either be personal or collectively shared.

 

Pagkaliwangan had her first residency and solo exhibition titled Tiempo Galing at Kapitana
Gallery, Negros Occidental, PH in 2016. In 2017, she had a solo exhibition titled Inventory at
Tin-aw Art Gallery, Makati City, PH. She won the grand prize of Don Papa Rum Art
Competition 2017, which included a 1-month residency in Florence, Italy. She has also joined
group exhibitions in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Taiwan.
