Filipino artist Katelyn Miñoso journeys through a 'mid-crisis' and finds her path through painting In the process of figuring out who we are and where we belong, getting lost is part of the journey. While many may see this as a setback, being lost is a chapter where we question ourselves and truly discover who we’re meant to be. There is no one perfect way to find the answer.
As Mahatma Gandhi said, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” For 24-year-old Katelyn Miñoso, life has led her down many paths, allowing her to explore, question, get lost, and start again. Before becoming a visual artist, this young woman from Iloilo completed a degree in Advertising and Public Relations at Assumption College San Lorenzo in Makati City.
She later worked in public relations before resigning in July this year to fully dedicate herself to her painting practice. Although it may seem like Katelyn has found her path through colors and paintbrushes, she admits she still feels overwhelmed and conflicted at times. These emotions are some of the elements she translates onto the canvas, as seen in her recent exhibition, titled “Everybody is a Fair-weather Friend,” with fellow young artist Georgina Pomarejos.
To learn more about her creative journey, Style Weekend sits down with Katelyn as she shares how her love for the arts is rooted in her family, explores the thin line between reality and imagination through her work, and discusses her goals.
