ANDRES BARRIOQUINTO
b. 1975, PhilippinesAndres Barrioquinto is currently resident in Manila, Philippines. His current occupation and specialization is being a Visual Artist. The artist graduated from the University of Santo Tomas (UST) in 2000 from the College of Fine Arts and Design Major in painting. Barrioquinto’s works are collected by important institutions like the Singapore Art Museum.
In more recent years, Barrioquinto’s works have developed a distinctive style of surreal and hyperrealistic portraits. With fine strokes in acrylic and oil, the artist renders recognizable faces in subdued tones. The darkness in his old style still creeps into his newer works, though masked by the calmness of flowers, birds, butterflies, and traditional patterns belonging to Japanese culture – specifically ukiyo-e, Japanese woodblock prints from the Edo period.
Barrioquinto’s exquisite image overlaying, patterning, and image appropriations from various Asian cultures create dynamic juxtapositions and open up numerous possibilities of interpretation, earning him both critical and commercial attention, locally and abroad.
