ABOUT THE WORK

By distillIng landscapes and architectural forms to their essence, this Paete based painter conjures a moody and spare personal vision of every village in any country for that matter. Manuel Baldemor is a Filipino painter, sculptor, printmaker, writer and book illustrator. He is best known for his paintings on various media that depict scenes in simplified geometric forms with a playful, saccharine folk art character. Most of his subjects in art are his hometown, its people, their everyday activities, and their celebrations.
