Kristine Ann Juan Soguilon Lim (born October 11, 1985) is a Filipino visual artist. Her works touch on themes of evangelical Christian inclination.[1], as well as Filipino hospitality and culture.[2]
Early life and education[edit]
Kristine Lim was born in Pasig City, Philippines to Dimas Sales Soguilon, an engineer, and Nilda Juan Soguilon. She learned how to draw even before learning how to write, when she was around two to three years old.[1]
She attended the Sto. Niño Preparatory School in Marikina from 1988 until 1990, when she moved to the Child Study Center at Miriam College where she continued her grade and high school years[1] and became a member of the art, ballet, and glee clubs. She eventually leaned more into the visual arts. She also participated in mission work at Payatas while a student there. Her education at Miriam College was instrumental to her spiritual formation, which is fundamental to her current artistry. In 2003, she graduated from high school at this institution.
She graduated from the College of Fine Arts at the University of the Philippines Diliman, where she was a university scholar for four consecutive years. She obtained a degree in Visual Communications with cum laude honors.[1]
Artistry and artistic career[edit]
Post-graduation years to 2010[edit]
She was a freelance photographer from 2006 to 2010 for PULP Magazine, Warner Music, and other advertising and media outlets.
In 2010, she took a career hiatus following her diagnosis with paranoid personality disorder.[1] Her last art exhibit as a visual artist before taking a hiatus was at a group exhibit at My Little Art Space in San Juan City, Metro Manila.
Comeback: Almost There (2020)[edit]
In 2020, inspired by the death of her son, Lim resumed her career. She staged a comeback exhibit called Almost There[3][4][5] at the Manila Hotel, which featured 17 of her artworks. In this exhibit, Lim focused on her commitment towards God, reflecting the “wake-up call” she said she received from God in light of his son’s death[5].
In the same year, she was also commissioned to create the portraits of the Special Awardees at the FAMAS Digital Awards.[6]
SOAR and other involvements (2021)[edit]
In March 2021, she organized the first exhibit and auction of Sustainable PH, which was held at the Art Lounge Manila.[7]
In May 2021, she formally turned over a commemorative painting called "Luwalhati" to the Philippine Department of Labor and Employment for its Labor Day celebrations.[8] The painting is now permanently displayed at the government agency's main office lobby. The following month, she also gave a commemorative painting called "HALIGI (Salmo 18:2)" to the Department of Public Works and Highways for its 123rd anniversary.[9]
In July 2021, she joined an exhibit entitled Sa Lahat ng Pagbabago, Salamat Pangulo (translated “For All the Reforms, Thank You Mr. President”) at the House of Representatives during the State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Rodrigo Duterte[10]. Lim was also commissioned to do paintings of President Duterte and Senator Bong Go[1]. These were turned over to the Philippine government to become part of the National Archives of the Philippines and the Presidential Museum and Library. Lim has also painted portraits of other politicians and prominent individuals such as Isko Moreno[11], members of the Marcos family[1], Sara Duterte,[12] Joseph Estrada,[13] and others.
In October 2021, she conducted another solo exhibit at the Manila Hotel called SOAR,[14][15][16] featuring 33 of her artworks.[15] A notable piece at this exhibit was "Surrender," a painting that depicts a Philippine Eagle with a mirror for its eyes.[14] This is an example her work inspired by her “falling-off-the-cliff kind of circumstances”.[14] Proceeds from the closing auction of this exhibit benefited COVID-19 frontline workers through the Malasakit Para Sa Bayan Foundation.[15][17] In the same month, she donated a painting called "on HIS throne" for a fundraising auction of the International Care Ministries.[18][19]
In December 2021, Kristine Lim designed the official trophy for Sustainable PH's 1st Sustainability Leadership Awards. Called "LAWIG," the trophy symbolizes Noah's Ark as it rested above Mount Ararat.[20]
Lim also creates wearable, fashion-oriented art for the local brand Aesca.[21]
Personal life[edit]
Lim is married to former Marinduque province politician Jaime Jasper Lao Lim.[22] They wed in a civil ceremony in 2012, and in a church ceremony at San Agustin Church in 2013. They have two living children, Justine Kyrie and Judah Keizer. Their two other children, Gabriel and John Keizer, died from miscarriage and during infancy, respectively.
Lim is an active evangelical Christian from local megachurch Victory. In relation to her faith, she considers herself as an 'artist on a mission' and a 'missionary artist'.[23][1] Lim shared that these were borne in her conversations with her doctor during the time of her son John Keizer’s passing. Her doctor told her that her son “passed on already because his mission was already accomplished. So that you know, you have no right to take your life away because it was given to you by God. You’re here because you have a mission, and your mission is not done yet. What is your mission?”[1]
As a “missionary artist”, she works with other Filipino Christian artists in art exhibits and mission works.[24]
Lim has been diagnosed with paranoid personality disorder in 2010.[1]
Other ventures[edit]
Faith-based advocacies[edit]
Artists on a Mission[edit]
Founded by Lim and supported by Christian+Collective, a Christian art community where Lim is also vice-president for external affairs, Artists on a Mission Workshop moves around the Philippines and abroad to teach new artists how to share the Christian gospel through art.[25] Its primary objective is to create a new breed of artists who will use their talents for the glory of God.
Jubilant with Kindness and Love Foundation[edit]
Lim and her husband also founded the Jubilant with Kindness and Love Foundation, which aims to help further mobilize mission works, ministry, charity, and philanthropic works. In 2018, she helped construct and donate multiple playgrounds and activity centers across the Philippines, including in Davao, Pangasinan, Samar, Marinduque, and the Philippine Children’s Medical Center.
Health advocacies[edit]
Kristine Lim is an advocate of Edenic living and of plant-based eating, as well as sustainability and mental health. She leads a Facebook Group called Edenic Living to support this advocacy.
She is also the Director of Culture and Arts at Sustainable PH, a non-profit organization that stands at the forefront of “greenovation” in the Philippines.[26]
Lim is also an advocate of maintaining mental health, which is due to her paranoid personality disorder diagnosis. She claims that her Christian values and acceptance have made her more resistant to the disorder’s unpredictability.[1]
