About the Artist

Renz Baluyot (b. 1989, Saudi Arabia) is a Filipino visual artist born in Saudi Arabia and based in the Philippines. Touching on thematics and narratives that depict various manifestations of decay and disintegration in society, Baluyot’s artistic expression takes the form of a painting and an installation. The contexts of his subjects are often derived from his keen observation of the intersectionality of socio-political conditions across territories and among nations through the examination of institutional archives and records.
