A multidisciplinary researcher and practitioner with a background in Visual Cultures, Art History, and Conservation. Experienced in academic research, exhibition production, artefact care, and public engagement. Passionate about the intersections of visual cultures, Art, architecture, materiality, identity, and storytelling through curatorial and editorial practices.

If you’re an artist, conservator, or curator based in Southeast Asia or Europe, and your practice engages with cultural memory, preservation, or storytelling, I’d love to hear from you. Underpainting is always looking to feature voices involved in thoughtful, material-based cultural work.
