SCROLL TO EXPLORE

01 — The Artist

An artistic life shaped by heritage and place.

I’m Ovvian Castrillo Hill, a Filipino-Canadian sculptor and visual artist based in Fort St. John, British Columbia.

Growing up within the artistic legacy of my father, the late Eduardo Castrillo, gave me an early understanding of sculpture as a language capable of carrying history, emotion, culture, and ideas. Since beginning professionally in 2003, I have continued to develop a voice of my own across the Philippines and Canada.

My Story

Heritage is a foundation,
not a boundary.

My sculptures explore movement, rhythm, strength, softness, relationships, culture, and the emotional experiences that connect us. Moving to northern British Columbia changed my practice: my artistic heritage came with me, and Canada gave me another landscape in which to explore it.

Whether a work is intimate or monumental, permanent or temporary, I want it to create a moment of connection between the artwork, the place, and the person standing before it.

04 — Commissions

Let’s create something meaningful.

A commissioned artwork should belong to its environment, reflect its purpose, and tell a story that matters. I welcome inquiries for private sculpture, public art, corporate artwork, cultural installations, community projects, and commemorative works.

05 — Community

Creativity grows stronger when people feel they belong.

Fort St. John is more than the place where I live. It has become part of my story.

Through art, cultural initiatives, events, conversations, and community involvement, I hope to keep contributing to the place my family and I call home.

Selected Projects

Ideas transformed for architecture, organizations, communities, and public space.

Large-scale projects require attention to the environment, the people who will experience the work, and the history and purpose of the location. These works represent important chapters in my development as an artist in both the Philippines and Canada.

01

Pathways to Prosperity

Philippine Stock Exchange

One of the most significant public works of my career, this signature sculpture responds to ideas of movement, ambition, growth, progress, and possibility. It remains an important milestone in my journey as a sculptor.

02

Shangri-La Makati Christmas Installation

Makati, Philippines · 2003

This installation marked an important turning point in my life. Working at this scale demanded attention to architecture, atmosphere, materials, fabrication, presentation, and the experience of people moving through the space.

03

Land Form Obelisk

Fort St. John, British Columbia

Winning the competition connected with this work gave me an important sense that my artistic practice could continue—and evolve—in Canada. The piece is both a public-art achievement and the beginning of a new chapter.

04

Drum of Concordia

CreateSpace Public Art Residency · 2023–2024

An interactive installation exploring harmony among the cultures that make Fort St. John home. Cultural imagery, textiles, light, sound, and public interaction express how different histories can stand together while contributing to something shared.
