With a foundation in Media Arts & Science from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Gina transitioned from digital design to the tactile realm of painting. Her technique is a meticulous dance between intuition and precision, layering texture upon texture to echo the complexities of life itself. Each layer interacts with the next, revealing hidden stories and unexpected surprises, inviting viewers to lose themselves in the depth and intricacy of her work. The final flourish of gold leaf, when used, not only enriches the visual experience but also encapsulates Gina's dedication to her craft and her ongoing artistic journey. Her inclination towards diptychs and triptychs mirrors the multifaceted nature of identity, with each canvas narrating tales of love, resilience, and introspection. Through her creations, Gina sees art as a bridge connecting across divides, amplifying the intricate stories of identity and a sense of belonging.

Orlando, FL
"Inspired by cultural fusion and spiritual reflection: Abstract art in black, white, and radiant gold."
Gina Tyquiengco is a vibrant fusion of cultures, an embodiment of the rich tapestry of her Guamanian and African American heritage. Born in Washington and raised in Indiana, she now lives and works in Central Florida. This inherent duality is not just her story but the very pulse of her abstract creations. Each piece is a dialogue, a delicate balance between two distinct worlds, brought to life on canvas. Influenced by the universal rhythms of music, her distinctive use of black, white, and sometimes the radiant sheen of 24k gold leaf—an expertise honed during a transformative artist residency in Puebla, Mexico—symbolizes spiritual reflection and the quest for personal identity.With a foundation in Media Arts & Science from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Gina transitioned from digital design to the tactile realm of painting.
