Nic Jaro

Nic Jaro is a contemporary visual artist whose work explores themes of memory, identity, and the interplay between urban space and personal experience. Drawing inspiration from both street art and abstract expressionism, Jaro’s practice spans painting, mixed media, and installation art. Originally from Manila and now based in Toronto, Jaro’s creative journey is informed by his multicultural heritage and a keen interest in the ways environments shape human narratives.

His textured compositions often feature layered surfaces, bold colors, and graffiti-inspired mark-making, resulting in pieces that feel both raw and meticulously constructed. Over the past decade, Nic Jaro has exhibited in galleries throughout North America and Southeast Asia, earning critical acclaim for his evocative visual language and commitment to experimental processes. As an artist, he continually seeks to forge connections between past and present, chaos and order, inviting viewers to reflect on the often-overlooked details that make up the fabric of everyday life.
