About Chrisiane

Chrisiane is a Filipino artist and sustainability specialist with a background that spans environmental consultancy in the built environment, sustainable development policy, and community-led climate movement. Chrisiane’s creative practice is rooted in her work supporting frontline communities, researching impacts of just, equitable future-thinking policies, and reducing waste within cities - experience she’s gained through roles at organisations like the Office of the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales, Siargao Environmental Awareness Movement, Buro Happold and the Philippine Movement for Climate Justice. 

Her art is a natural extension of this work. Using watercolour and acrylic, Chrisiane explores themes at the intersection of environmental care, social justice, and the vibrant traditions of her Filipino roots. Her paintings celebrate the beauty of the natural world, communities and the cultural narratives that shape our collective future. Inspired by native plants, regenerative landscapes, travels, and her experiences living and working across the Philippines, Austria, the UK, and Australia, her creative work invites reflection and connection on how we care for both people and the planet.

Chrisiane graduated with a BEng in Materials Science & Engineering from Loughborough University, England and a Master’s in Sustainable Development at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, where she earned a Dean’s List Award. She is currently calling Sydney, Australia home.

Kind words

  • "Chrisiane is such a lovely soul and was an absolute joy to work with. She did incredible work with the local kids and community. Despite being new and working mostly independently with minimal supervision, she accomplished so much. Chrisiane blended so naturally with everyone—she’s grounded, clever, always smiling, and has such a light and uplifting vibe. Her presence brought so much positive energy to our team. We’re so grateful for the time we had with her."

  • "Love our bespoke piece. The process was really smooth and Chrisiane kept in touch regarding smaller decisions throughout to make sure it was what we wanted. Our concept was very much pulling sections of our best memories into one piece and Chrisiane did it perfectly. She really understood the story behind why we wanted to commission this piece."
