About
Born and raised in Cebu, Philippines, John Delante (b. 1998) is a visual artist who lives and works in Toronto,
Canada. His work explores themes of home, belonging, and identity through
photography and image-making. Engaging with temporal shifts and memory, his
images navigate the tension between intimacy and distance. He reflects on how
spaces and relationships shape one’s sense of self and open possibilities for
reimagined futures.
John’s experience of
migration and cultural transition informs his perspective, grounding his
reflections on movement, adaptation, and the fluid nature of identity. His
photographs linger between the familiar and the unfamiliar, tracing the
intersections of past and present while inviting viewers to consider the
transformative potential of memory and place.
John earned a BFA in Photography
Studies from Toronto Metropolitan University in 2022 and has exhibited at Gallery 44, Latcham Art Centre and Artspace TMU.
