Joy Mallari is a contemporary Filipino painter and visual artist.
Mallari is known for a visual style similar to the contemporary Filipino figurative expressionism common among members of the Grupong Salimpusa and Sanggawa art movements, but distinguished by a narrative approach which one critic has described as exploring "the linkages between literature and art" - an approach which she attributes to her exposure to the pre-digital animation industry during her developmental years as an artist.
She is also known for exploring themes of identity and marginalization in Philippine society.
The children's book "Doll Eyes", which she co-created with writer Eline Santos, won the National Children's Book Award in 2011.
