About the Artwork/s

“Kitsch” speaks for itself. It’s about consumerism in the art world. Whether we would like to admit it or not, art is a commodity we’re consuming and churning out faster and faster as time goes on. As a byproduct, artworks easily lose their value because of the fast-paced breakneck speed of the modern world and its demands.

About the Artist

Bea Aspiras (b. 1993) is a painter based in Quezon City. She studied painting at the University of Santo Tomas in Manila, OCAD University in Toronto, and Langara College in Vancouver.

Seeking to encapsulate the highs and lows of daily life while staying true to the spontaneity of her intuition while creating, it was during her time in Canada when she discovered her affinity for abstract expressionism. Completely falling in love with its raw artistic process.

Because of her sincerity for introspection and eagerness to learn, she paints to explore the individual subjectivity of human perception, sensibilities, and emotions. Bea takes inspiration from the stories she accumulates from her unending pursuit to connect with people through art.
