About Us
Kartini Asia Gallery was established in 2002. With the vision of KARTINI Gallery’s founder and CEO Nina Malvar, KARTINI showcases the masterful renditions of distinguished Filipino artists who excel and have shown great relevance in the subjects and themes of their art whether in painting, sculpture and photography. The gallery showcases its collection of work about the resilience of the Filipino spirit and innovation, faith and culture.
On its 20th year this year, KARTINI Gallery celebrated the art and genius of JOE DATUIN, artist par excellence who has won international and local accolades for his body of work.
