Katelyn Ann de los Santos Miñoso (b. March 2, 2000) is a self-taught artist from Iloilo City whose passion for art began in primary school. After briefly exploring other interests, Katelyn returned to drawing at 13 and never looked back.
She gained recognition by winning a Legacy Minor Prize at the 2021 Quincentennial Art Competition and placed 7th in Shell’s 54th National Student Art Competition. Katelyn has held two solo exhibitions: Sa Palibot at Madge Café in 2022 and Two Places at Once at Mamusa Gallery in 2023.
Katelyn’s paintings often reflect an inward and contemplative journey. Now in her mid-20s, she uses art as a way to understand herself more deeply, drawing inspiration from her surroundings- whether moments that uplift her or experiences that stir inner conflict.
A graduate of Advertising and Public Relations from Assumption College San Lorenzo, she briefly pursued a career in public relations before deciding in 2024 to focus fully on her painting practice. Still, she continues to take on select PR and advertising projects on the side, as these remain passions close to her heart.
