ABOUT THE WORK

As an integral part of the fine art canon, drawing has been affirmed in Philippine art as early as the 19th century, maybe earlier. The dignity and importance of drawing for many artists are evident in their extraordinary output covering every facet of life and experience. And the genuine quality of Hidalgo’s development as an artist can, in fact, only be seen in his drawings, which are numerous and display a remarkable facility and boldness of execution.
