About

Art without
walls or limits

I'm Gea V. Pernites, a Filipino fine artist based in Manila. My practice is multi-disciplinary by necessity — I believe that confining art to a single medium is like confining a river to a single bank.

Growing up surrounded by Filipino folk tradition, jeepney murals, and the dense visual culture of the barangay, I learned early that art is everywhere — in grief rituals, on city walls, in festivals.

My most distinctive practice is coffin painting — hand-decorating wooden caskets as a final act of love. It is quiet, spiritual work, and it has shaped everything else I do.

Mediums & Disciplines
01

Coffin Art

Hand-painting wooden caskets with intricate motifs, portraits, and symbolic imagery — a deeply meaningful practice at the intersection of fine art, grief, and cultural ritual.

02

Wall Murals

Large-scale paintings for public and private spaces, woven from Filipino folklore, community stories, and abstract narrative. I work directly on walls and architectural surfaces.

03

Canvas Painting

Traditional and experimental work in oil, acrylic, and mixed media. Each piece explores texture, color, and the visual language of personal and collective memory.

04

Digital Art

Illustrations and vector works created digitally — from editorial pieces and character design to commercial branding assets. Rooted in the same craft as my analog practice.

How I Work

A considered creative process

Art that lasts is art that is thought through. Here is how I move from inquiry to finished work — journeying from physical painting to digital vectors and back, regardless of medium.

01 — Listening First

Discovery

Every piece begins with a conversation — about the subject, the space, the feeling you want to inhabit. I listen first. I sketch second. This phase is about understanding the soul of the work before a single brushstroke.

02 — Drawing the Vision

Concept & Study

I develop thumbnail compositions, study color relationships, and sometimes create small material tests. I move freely between physical sketching and digital vector studies — whichever medium speaks to the piece.

03 — Bringing It to Life

Creation

Whether standing on a ladder with a brush, kneeling beside a casket, or working in Procreate at 2am — creation is deliberate, unhurried, and honest. This is where physical painting becomes digital vectors and back again.

04 — The Final Gift

Delivery

Finished work is documented with archival photography and delivered with care. For commissions, I provide guidance on care, display, and preservation. The relationship doesn't end at delivery.
