Chati Coronel

Bio

Chati Coronel (b. 1970, Manila, Philippines; lives and works in Toronto, Canada). 

After receiving her degree in Architecture from The University of Santo Tomas in the Philippines in 1991, Chati Coronel deviated from that path and built in its stead a painting practice that has now spanned three decades. Coronel has found her artistic voice in a process she calls Figurative Spatialism in which she paints layers of abstract movement and contains them in a color space that forms the silhouette of a human figure. 

Influenced by the principles of Philosopher, Rudolf Steiner and Architect, Louis Khan, Coronel explores a subject by understanding its beginning and then engages it in a futuristic form of myth-making through her art. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and art fairs in Los Angeles, Manila, Florence, Singapore, and Art Basel Hong Kong.
