Puny, or Fleur Puao, is a pop-surreal visual artist from Cebu, Philippines. Her work blends playfulness and vulnerability, often featuring recurring characters inspired by her inner child and lived experiences. Influenced by Frida Kahlo, James Jean, and Hayao Miyazaki, she creates paintings, sculptures, and prints that explore healing and emotional growth.
A Fine Arts graduate from the University of the Philippines Cebu (Magna Cum Laude, 2024), she held her solo thesis show at Qube Gallery and continues to exhibit in group shows across Cebu and Manila.

My work explores healing, isolation, mental health, and relationships through painting, sculpture, print, and mixed media. I often depict myself, my inner child, and my loved ones in flat, cut-out or dreamlike settings that mirror my emotional landscape.
Each piece begins as a quiet attempt to process pain, loneliness, or longing and transforms into a space of comfort and reflection. Through these imagined worlds, I hope viewers reconnect with their own inner child and find warmth in knowing they are not alone in their healing.

💫 What helped me realize this was my time at UP and my undergraduate thesis, which included a solo exhibition held at Qube Gallery in May 2024. Check out the ***"XOXO," Exhibition Catalogue*** to learn more.
