Gracinha “Inha” Arceo (b. 1994) is a playful and versatile contemporary artist born and raised in the Philippines. Having exhibited internationally in cities including Manila, Madrid, Lisbon and Monaco, Arceo continues to expand her presence across global contemporary art platforms, bringing a powerful voice from the Filipino art scene to an international audience. In 2026, her work will be shown in New York and the Women's Biannale in London.

Arceo refined her practice through classical training in drawing and painting at the Florence Academy of Art in Florence, Italy. Working primarily in oil paint and acrylic on canvas, her practice is defined by a visual language that fuses playfulness with emotional depth.

Her work showcases a compelling blend of figures and expressionist techniques resulting in a unique style that is both culturally rich and emotionally engaging. Her figures radiate energy and vulnerability at once, inviting the viewer into intimate narratives, daily life experiences and emotions where joy, strength and self-discovery coexist. Through vivid colors and dynamic forms, she constructs spaces where emotion becomes visible and identity unfolds in movement.

Arceo’s vision is to elevate Filipino art on the global contemporary stage while encouraging fellow Filipino artists to share their voice. Her work honors her heritage through a modern lens, grounded in authenticity and a commitment to well-being as a foundation for honest expression.

Through her work, Inha Arceo reclaims painting as a space for empowerment, connection, and emotional expression.
