Arnica ACANTILADO( b.1984, Philippines )

Arnica Arcantilado was born and raised in the Philippines and attended The Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Santa Mesa in Manila. Although she obtained her Bachelor of Science in Architecture, Arcantilado always painted as a hobby ever since she was young. With the encouragement of friends and family, she worked hard to improve her painting skills and started entering art competitions, spurred on by the will to achieve and contribute to the art scene in the Philippines. Arcantilado began to receive awards and recognition for her work, whereupon she realised that she could paint professionally for a living. A significant award for her was in 2006 when Arcantilado was the Finalist for the Shell 39th National Student Art Competition and was awarded for being Outstanding student in the field of Visual Arts.

In 2007 she won 2nd place for the Eyebank Foundation Painting Competition and in 2008 she was the Grand Prize winner for the PLDT-DPC Telephone Directory Cover, 22nd Visual Art National Competition. More recently Arcantilado received 2nd Honourable Mention in the annual art competition held by The Art Association of The Philippines (AAP) and was a Finalist for the Painting Category of the Metrobank Art and Design Excellence (MADE). Since 2008 Arcantilado continues to regularly exhibit her work in various group shows in both the Philippines and Singapore, including the Affordable Art Fair 2013 with Jada Art Gallery.
