Shiela Molato (b. 1986) works and lives in Iloilo City, Philippines. Her works often include industrial materials that are incorporated into her abstract paintings. Heavily influenced by Architecture and Interior Design, Molato’s practice thrives on the experimentation of materials and forms. She is a licensed nurse and had worked as a photographer for a European-run studio before extending her practice to painting. Molato has exhibited extensively in the Visayas and more recently in Manila.
