About

Katrina Abbatuan is a Filipino-born, British-raised visual artist who uses painting, photography, and digital to explore the nature of our reality and connect worlds and perspectives.

Through exploring reality and collected curiosities, Katrina’s work bridges the mundane with magic. Capturing what resonates from her experiences, thoughts and varied interests, she unites pieces from her archive in playful and unexpected ways. She is intrigued by the fragments that make up the whole, by uniqueness and unity.

With an autobiographical and cosmic undertone that flows through her work, Katrina further explores self, society, and the state of being from a third culture lens.

Fascinated by the human experience, Katrina has an MA Joint Honours Art History and Social Anthropology from the University of St Andrews and a background working for international brands and start-ups across various sectors. Drawing inspiration from life, she expresses her reflections and understanding of our reality through her work.

Based between Nottingham – London, UK, Abbatuan has exhibited domestically and internationally in group exhibitions in South Korea, Germany, and the UK.
