Faye Pamintuan (b. 1994) was born in the Philippines and spent her formidable years in Texas, USA. Spending much of her life traveling between the two countries, Pamintuan’s practice is informed by her early introduction to Western abstraction while observing the landscapes, bodies of water, and environments of the two regions. Her works are inquiries that respond to the dilemma of the diaspora: probing into the sense of self through illustrated spaces, forms, and imagined terrains

She received her BFA in Painting from the University of the Philippines, Diliman (magna cum laude), and has completed artist residencies at the Walkaway House in Massachusetts and the School of Visual Arts in New York. She has completed fellowships and workshops with the NYC Crit Club and the Alternative Art School, where she was mentored by Gridthiya Gaweewong, curator and artistic director at the Jim Thompson Art Centre in Bangkok. Her works were featured in the 2024 edition of S.E.A. Focus in Singapore.
