MANILA, PHILIPPINES — In the long history of art, women often only stand as the subject of paintings. Today, as we continue to celebrate the International Women’s Month, we can also recognize the outstanding women who proactively push the art industry forward.
One of these women is Isa Lorenzo, a licensed doctor with a medical degree from the University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital and a masters in Media Studies degree from the New School University. Today, she is the gallery director of Silverlens Galleries, which she founded in 2004, overseeing an active program of artist representation, exhibitions, collaborations, art fairs and commissions in the Philippines and southeast Asia.
