Jill Paz (b. 1982) is a Filipino-Canadian artist who emigrated to North America in the early eighties. In 2017, she returned to Manila, where she now lives and works. As such, Paz is informed by her experience as an immigrant, and her artworks are imbued with the lyrical tone of diasporic intimacy. Her emphatically process-oriented approach to painting combines analog and digital techniques to create intricate approximations that explore themes of repair and preservation. Recent solo and group exhibitions include Alliance Française Manille, Makati (2020); Centre Intermondes, La Rochelle (2019); Unttld Contemporary, Vienna Contemporary, Vienna (2019); Danubiana Meulensteen Art Museum, Bratislava (2019); and Art Basel Hong Kong (2019). Paz graduated with an MFA and BFA at the Columbus College of Art and Design; studied Art History at the University of British Columbia, and attended a studio program at Parsons The New School for Design, New York. Aside from PARP, Paz has attended artist residencies at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, Banff, and Mildred’s Lane, Narrowsburg, New York. She was the recipient of the 2016 Visual Arts Fellowship for the Columbus Museum of Art and Saxony State Ministry and subsequently attended a residency at GEH8, Dresden, Germany. Paz’s works are in the collection of the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo and several international private collections.
