artist statement
Regina Viqueira is drawn to the little things, hidden corners, and beings that are often overlooked, rarely even given belief. In her art and social practice, she aims to elevate the ordinary and the unusual through play and ritual, transforming what was once considered mundane or nonsense into something sacred and meaningful.
Through her work, Regina intends to encourage the world to reconsider its perceptions of the ordinary and to find significance in the neglected. Ultimately, she aspires to create a dialogue that bridges cultures and invites reflection on our shared experiences.
Regina Viqueira holds an MFA in Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York, NY and a BA in Studio Art and Peace and Conflict Studies from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA. She has exhibited work at the Philippine Embassy in Washington, DC, El Museo del Barrio in New York City, and PULSE Art Fair in Miami, among other spaces.

faerie findings
2021 – PRESENT
Faerie Findings is a sculptural and garden-based art project that brings to life the world of faeries—mystical stewards of nature—grappling with a changing Earth. Through natural elements like mushrooms, moss, and miniature landscapes, the work explores how these beings adapt to human impact, pollution, and climate change. Blending folklore with ecological awareness, Faerie Findings invites viewers to reconnect with the magic of the natural world and imagine new ways of caring for it.
Life on an Island
2019
Works created in residency on Governors Island, NY as a part of “Life on an Island / CYCLE 3 \ s.o.s.”, a group exhibition featuring work by eight MFA Fine Arts alumni and one artist collective, curated by MFA Fine Arts faculty member, staff member and alumnus Alison Kuo. These works explore disposable plastic culture, the vulnerability of our environment, and the hardness/softness of the self.
Born to be Bored
2018
“Born to be Bored” responds satirically to an ever increasing boring experienced by modern society; a hole, an emptying, a longing. It is a negotiation of nostalgic and sterile definitions of ‘American-ness’ as they relate to the current socio-political climate. Whether looking backward or forward, “Born to be Bored” encourages a look around, a look through; a time for reflection on how we as individuals and as a society affect each other and our environments.

objects for an artificial space
2017
“Objects for an artificial space” brings objects and ideas from Filipino-american cultural and religious rituals to the ever-growing spaces of the religiously unaffiliated, called “nones”. Decontextualized, remixed, and fragile, these objects and ideas negotiate cultural hybridity.
world of the thingamabobs
2014
In “world of the thingamabobs,” trash and found materials are playfully transformed into dark creatures of a fantastical space.
Educational Portfolio
Regina Viqueira approaches art education with a focus on context, process, and play.
She empowers students to embrace their unique perspectives, abilities, and backgrounds, encouraging authentic learning and creative expression.
Through a process of inquiry and discovery, Regina guides students in developing skills that support their artistic growth and extend into all areas of life.
Believing that play is a vital — and often underestimated — part of learning, Regina creates a space where students can explore freely, let go of perfectionism, and learn through experimentation and reflection. Her curriculum blends strong foundations in technique, art fundamentals, and design principles with thoughtful engagement in contemporary questions surrounding art-making and culture today.
