Aileen Lanuza

Aileen Lanuza (b. 1982) made a name for herself painting realistic works of women in traditional garb but set in a highly conceptual context. Her paintings have been included in auction houses Larasati, Masterpiece and Borobudur, and has been featured in publications such as “A Treasury of Philippine Nudes”, “Larasati, Pictures of Asia”, and “100 Years, 100 nudes” by the UP Alumni Centennial celebration.

Lanuza completed her studies at the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts (2003) where she was a consistent college scholar graduating with honors. She has received recognition as one of the five best entries in an art competition at Malacañan Palace hosted by then President of the Philippines Fidel V. Ramos (1992), 2nd Honorable Mention at an art competition of the Manila Midtown Hotel (1993), Finalist at the Nationwide Caltex Sci-art competition and an awardee of McCann Erickson (2002). She has participated in over 60 group exhibitions as well as three exhibits where only four selected artists were asked to paint their vision of the women of today.
