Ayn sight, insight.

Kathleen Sareena Dagum is an educator, sculptures, and an illustrator. Born in Sultan Kudarat, she went to Manila to pursue her degree in Studio Arts at University of the Philippines - Diliman College of Fine Arts. 

 

Kathleen is a multidisciplinary artist who explores different visual materials to narrate social realism in the topic of environment, women, culture, social morale, and children’s right.

 

She loves manipulating form using wire, paper, used fabric, scrap wood and metal scraps. Her sculptures usually have elements of introspection of herself and the society around her. They are mostly a reflection of what she believes matters most in the society and how here art can become a voice for those who can not speak because of lack of opportunity.

 

Besides sculpture she also has a special place for watercolor in her heart. Before she became sculptress she first specialized the medium watercolor. In this process some of the pieces that she made were illustrations of children in sceneries of a farm or nature and some are story telling.

 

She graduated in Secondary Education, Mathematics (2011) in Mindanao State University and Bachelor of Fine Arts Studio Art -Sculpture - Magna Cum Laude (2017) in University of the Philippines Diliman. She was Grand Awardee of Metrobank Art and Design Excellence (MADE) in Sculpture Category in 2021.
