Co-presented by Chinabank and SM Supermalls for the benefit of the Zonta Club of Makati and Environs, Sining Filipina is the Philippines’ only nationwide, all-women art competition.

Geanne Gentizon from Guimaras Island wins second place with her painting titled “Si Nanay sa Merkado”.

This year, 52 finalists from across the Philippines were chosen to display their outstanding works, showcasing a wide variety of artistic styles, themes, and mediums –from traditional painting to experimental mixed media.

The public is invited to view this collection at the SM Aura upper ground level atrium from March 27 to April 3.

The Sining Filipina competition not only provides a platform for artistic expression but also offers Filipino women artists a valuable opportunity for recognition and financial support. This year, winners took home up to P250,000 in cash prizes and gained recognition from the nation’s leading art connoisseurs.

As the exhibit continues at SM Aura, visitors can experience the powerful narratives and emotions conveyed through the artworks, as well as witness the immense talent shaping the future of Philippine art.
