Ianna Engaño, born in Manila City and raised in the province of Cavite, is a ceramic artist with a Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Communication from the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City. This is the same university where she started to fall in love with clay when she became an apprentice at the UP College of Fine Arts Ceramic Studio in the year 2018.

Mixtures of social realism, environmental activism, and a personal storybook – these are the art pieces made out of stoneware and terracotta clay that Ianna Engaño shares in the local art community. She believes that art should be used to celebrate its beauty, reveal the truth, and side with virtue.
