Donna Dosado

Donna Dosado is a visual artist based between Cebu and Siargao Island. She creates whimsical paintings that convey the art of noticing and the beauty of the natural world. She captures the quiet magic of everyday moments, highlighting her belief that the most meaningful revelations are often hidden in plain sight.

Central to her current practice is an intimate exploration of coastal ecology and a life lived by the ocean. Through Art, she reflects on her relationship with the ocean and with nature in general. Her creative process mirrors her journey of self-discovery, while also transforming observation into reflections on the deep and inescapable connection to the ecosystems we inhabit.
