Ella Hipolito

Ella Hipolito's artistic journey started in her hometown of San Mateo, Rizal (Philippines). Here, nature was her backyard and dogs her steadfast companions. She went on to study and finish Fine Arts from the College of the Holy Spirit in Mendiola, Manila.

She continued to cultivate her creative talents over the years. In 2010 Ella pursued her career in visual arts and coffee art became her cup of tea. It is not so often used as an artistic medium of expression, as one Ella Hipolito boldly does.

Now that Ella has virtually acquired a thorough knowledge of art through coffee, she then takes pride in looking back at what she initially learned & practiced - painting with the use of traditional media. Watercolor & acrylic are two of her favorites.

Through her resolute determination and perseverance, juggling between a day job and painting prior to deciding full-time in visual arts in 2015, Ella now boasts of 5 major solo art exhibitions, numerous solo mall shows, group art activities, and is a founder of 2 art groups. She has also started to gain recognition and offers to do series of guestings, interviews, public art demonstrations, and art talks.
