Nav Matito (b. 1998) is a contemporary artist based in Quezon City, Philippines.
His works explore the boundaries between fiction and reality, drawing inspiration from anime, internet culture, video games, and personal memories.
Through dreamlike character imagery, Matito embodies emotions such as loneliness, hope, nostalgia, uncertainty, and the desire to be understood.
His paintings reflect how fictional worlds shape our perception of ourselves, reminding us that sometimes, things that aren't real can best help us feel what it means to be human.
