Nica Deriquito is a Filipina artist and student currently pursuing a degree in Visual Arts. Her strong curiosity and passion for art and journalism was ignited at an early age and has continued to grow throughout her time as a photographer and multimedia artist. In her free time, she enjoys exploring the outdoors with her kids, trying her hand at culinary arts, travelling to new places, and teaching street art techniques. She strives to share her creativity by bringing a bold, expressive flair to every medium she explores. From evocative photojournalistic work to dynamic paintings that dance with the interplay of spray paint and acrylic, Nica’s artistic vision celebrates beauty in all forms of art. With an insatiable creative spirit, she aspires to establish an art-based non-profit that will help increase the visibility of BIPOC and minority populations in the art industry.
