Regina Reyes (b. 1993, Manila, Philippines)

Raised in an ancestral house in a township in the province of Rizal, a childhood and adolescence spent within the confines of a home steeped in heritage influenced and ignited what can be considered an enduring exploration of home, memory, and the tension between the fleeting and the everlasting—themes that continue to shape her work.

In recent years, Reyes has expanded her practice across painting, collage, and embroidery, often interwoven with prose — deepening her inquiry into the fragmentation of human memories. Through her works, she examines how remnants of the past persist, shift, or dissolve over time.

In the puncture and pull of her needlework, she traces presence and absence, while her collages turn her surroundings into both collaborator and witness. Through painting, sculpture, and writing, she contemplates the fragile balance between remembering and forgetting, finding meaning in what lingers and what inevitably fades.

Reyes received her B.F.A. from the University of the Philippines' College of Fine Arts in Diliman in 2017. Her work has been included in numerous group exhibitions and major art fairs across the Philippines since 2014. She has also mounted six solo exhibitions, each expanding her engagement with memory, materiality, and time.

She lives and works between Taytay, Rizal and General Santos, South Cotabato, Philippines.
