Her creative journey has drawn the attention of over 120,000 followers on her Instagram account, paulinavls, where she regularly shares her evolving body of work. Before rising to fame, Paulina Vls pursued higher education and earned a degree in Communications from Ateneo de Manila University back in 2015. Growing up, she lived with her grandfather, the esteemed National Artist Arturo Luz, whose influence may have played a role in shaping her artistic perspective. In January 2017, Paulina Vls married Jed Salgado Llanes, marking a personal milestone amidst her growing public life. Through her posts and paintings, Paulina Vls continues to inspire and connect with audiences drawn to her distinctive visual language.
She initially dipped her toes into the world of art back in December 2015, and not long after, she sold her very first piece to a close friend who absolutely loved what she created. It was a meaningful milestone for her, especially knowing that someone she cared about truly appreciated her talent. She felt encouraged by the support and saw it as a sign that maybe, just maybe, this art journey could turn into something more. Over time, she continued creating, inspired by that early moment when her work resonated with someone special. She often looks back on that first sale as the spark that kept her going.
