ABOUT THE WORK

Most known for his expressionist figurative style, Emmanuel Garibay is among the most recognized artists of his generation. He often employs a directed and conscious approach to his creations and has undoubtedly imbued his work with an inherent moral and social dimension. With formal training in certain academic disciplines such as theology and sociology, Garibay’s artistic endeavors often tackle subjects and problems that revolve around society, human nature, and the soul. While Garibay admired the works of the foreign masters El Greco, Picasso, Soutine, and Bosch, nothing compares to the tremendous impact of local masters BenCab, Malang, Aguilar Alcuaz, Antonio, Dalena and Saguil upon his works. Gabribay’s work features a stunning combination of social realism and avant-garde figurative expression, humor and seriousness, social critique and character depiction. Achieved through his finished works is an effective storytelling of people in social, political, and religious complexity.
