WASEI

WASEI is a Filipino Australian artist whose interdisciplinary practice blends painting, photography, music, poetry, and design to explore storytelling and reflection. His work examines relationships, emotional exchanges, and life’s shifting dynamics, serving as both catharsis and discovery. WASEI channels this symbolic energy into his work, treating painting as a ritual of purging and transformation. Bridging the spiritual and physical worlds, his work invites viewers to interpret its layers, completing a cycle of discovery that unites artist and audience. Rejecting trends, WASEI views art as essence, not fashion—authentic and impossible to commodify.

WASEI has presented in duo and group exhibitions across Sydney and his artworks have been published in Noema Magazine by The Berggruen Institute in Los Angeles, USA.
