For Nadine, art has always been a way of translating emotion, turning feeling into texture, intuition into color, and silence into form. Her journey into abstraction began in 2017, when she held her first solo exhibition at Green Sun, Makati. It was a quiet yet powerful debut that offered a glimpse into the emotional honesty and depth that would come to define her work.

In 2018, Nadine opened her own art gallery and launched “Intuition of Colors,” an exhibition exploring the connection between instinct and emotion. The collection reflected her early fascination with how color mirrors inner landscapes. Soft, turbulent, and quietly healing all at once.

Her next body of work, “Venus Retrograde,” marked a deeper, more personal evolution. The exhibit drew inspiration from themes of femininity, reflection, and transformation, mirroring the cyclical rhythm of both art and selfhood. Through layered abstraction and expressive movement, Nadine captured the complex emotional states that emerge when one looks inward.

As her work gained momentum, so did her presence in the local art scene. She has been featured in Manila Bulletin, BusinessWorld, and The Philippine Star, each spotlight recognizing her unique voice in contemporary abstraction. Her journey was further celebrated in a four-page feature in Art+ Magazine, Issue 60, which offered readers an intimate look into her creative process and the emotional storytelling behind her art.

Beyond exhibitions, Nadine and her gallery were also featured in the official music video “Lilipad Na” by GMA artist Garrett Bolden, where her art served as the visual backdrop for a story of growth and emotional release. The collaboration bridged visual and musical expression.

Her reach in the creative world has also expanded internationally, with her art featured on several Spotify album covers, including “Reflections” by Subfractal and “Year of the Dog” by The Mild Animals. These collaborations reflect her belief that art and music share the same emotional frequency, both capable of touching something deeply human and unseen.

Today, Nadine continues to expand her creative language, experimenting with new textures, materials, and approaches to abstraction. Her art remains deeply personal yet universally resonant, inviting viewers to feel rather than simply look. Each exhibit, feature, and collaboration marks a chapter in her ongoing exploration of emotion, transformation, and the quiet power of the abstract.
