Nice Buenaventura is a visual artist from Manila. Her methods revolve around the offloading of tensions, often between ethics and aesthetics, through drawing, painting, installation and citizen-ethnography. This extends to her project called Tropikalye, a mutual co-learning resource on vernacular culture in tropical and postcolonial Philippines. Using various strategies and modes of productivity allows her work to become generative expressions of concern, exploring new semantics adapted to change scenarios and future conditions.

Nice holds postgraduate degrees in media and arts technology from Queen Mary, University of London and Ateneo de Manila University. She has presented work and participated in art-adjacent projects in Bacolod, Bangkok, London, Manila, Melbourne, Paris, Ruang, Siem Reap, Singapore and Zurich. In 2021, she received the Cultural Center of the Philippines - Thirteen Artists Award and the Ateneo Art Awards - Fernando Zóbel Prize for Visual Art.
