Biography
Eustaquio was born in 1977, Cebu, Philippines. She studied World Cultures in Italy at the United World College of the Adriatic (Collegio del Mondo Unito dell’Adriatico) and earned a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Painting at the University of the Philippines. Eustaquio currently lives and works in Manila, Philippines.

Career
Beginning in 2003, Eustaquio held solo exhibitions in the Philippines then eventually, all around the world. She is the recipient of awards such as the Thirteen Artist Award from the Cultural Center of the Philippines and Ateno Art Award in 2009. Notably, Eustaquios first solo exhibition in Europe, The Mountain is Coming occupied a place in Palais de Tokyo, Paris, France, in 2016. Eustaquio has also exhibited in Singapore, New York, Basel, Taipei, Sydney, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. She has participated in artist residencies at Art Omi in New York and Stichting id11 in Delft, Netherlands. Later, in 2018, Eustaquio was awarded a three-month residency at Gasworks, London. Her focus during this residency was on the immigration of things. This theme of consumerism and appropriation weaves into her latest exhibition. Hoarding Fossils in Blankets was on show in 2020 at Silverlens, Manila.

Artworks and Themes
Eustaquios knowledge of fashion and textiles inform her work and is only one of the many mediums she uses alongside painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation. Eustaquios vocabulary of craft and design incorporate materials such as lace, felt, cardboard, furniture, brass, and glasswork. The feminine and domestic qualities introduce contrasting elements to her use of and interest in shadows when portraying the subject of decay. A common motif being, decaying flowers, which are depicted in an abstracted but a finely detailed manner on shaped canvases. Eustaquios black and white artworks emphasize the duality of minimal and optimal information to be observed. Themes in her artworks range from memory, vanity, and perception. Her exhibition Hoarding Fossils in Blankets features large tapestries which Eustiquio transposes paintings by Philippine masters into a textile form. This contrast puts the female and male, past and present, painting and tapestry in dialogue with one another. These works question ownership in the modern consumerist world of trade.
