Born in Pampanga, Philippines in 1976, Ronquillo emigrated as a child to the United States in 1987 where her family settled in San Antonio, Texas. WEBSITE

Ronquillo presents a new body of work inspired by liminal landscapes, dueling emotions, and other representations of the “in between,” according to the exhibition announcement. ”Her own sense of place and personal identity inform her new paintings, giving the show an intimate feel.”

The self-taught painter combines old master techniques with a playful modern sensibility to create a world where art history meets with imagined characters from literature, theatre and opera.

Born in Pampanga, Philippines in 1976, Ronquillo emigrated as a child to the United States in 1987 where her family settled in San Antonio, Texas.

Her work has appeared in numerous art publications including American Arts Quarterly, Southwest Art and American Art Collector as well as in the fashion magazines The Cut / New York Magazine,Vogue Gioiello, Marie Claire and A Magazine Curated By Alessandro Michele.
