Patricia Perez Eustaquio (b. 1977) is known for works that span different mediums and disciplines, from paintings, drawings, and sculptures to fashion, décor, and craft. She reconciles these intermediary forms through her constant exploration of notions surrounding the integrity of appearances and the vanity of objects. 
 
From her ornately-shaped canvases to sculptures shrouded by fabric, their arrival as fragments, shadows, or memories, according to Eustaquio, underline their aspirations, their vanity, this "desire to be desired". Her wrought objects—ranging from furniture, textile, brass, and glasswork in manufactured environments—likewise demonstrate these contrasting sensibilities and provide commentary on the mutability of perception, as well as on the constructs of desirability and how it influences life and culture. 
 
A recipient of The Cultural Center of the Philippines' Thirteen Artists Awards, she has also gained recognition through several residencies abroad, including Art Omi in New York and Stichting Id11 of the Netherlands. She has also been part of several notable exhibitions, such as The Vexed Contemporary in the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design, Manila; That Mountain is Coming at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, France; and An Atlas of Mirrors in the 2016 Singapore Biennale. 
 
Patricia Perez Eustaquio is currently based in Manila, Philippines.
