Jella

Jella is a contemporary visual artist known for her vibrant use of color and immersive mixed-media installations. Born in Manila, Philippines, she draws inspiration from urban landscapes, folk storytelling, and her deeply personal explorations of memory, identity, and belonging. Jella began her practice as a painter but quickly expanded into sculptural forms and digital media, blending traditional techniques with experimental processes to create layered, tactile works.

Her pieces often invite viewers to move around and within them, dissolving boundaries between art and audience. Over the past decade, Jella’s art has been exhibited across Asia, North America, and Europe, earning critical recognition for its emotional resonance and playful yet incisive social commentary. She is dedicated to community engagement, frequently leading collaborative workshops and public art projects that challenge conventional notions of authorship and participation.

Jella continues to live and work in her hometown, maintaining a studio that doubles as a creative hub for emerging artists and local youth.
