.jpg) Emmanuel Garibay is a Philippine painter known as much for
his expressionist figurative style as for the content of many of his
works, which often express a keen social and political consciousness.
After graduating from the University of the Philippines with
a degree in fine art, he studied European and Philippine masters on his own. His first exhibition was
held in 1993, and he built on some of
the recognition he received there by
exhibiting and traveling more widely
in Europe, Asia, and the United States.
Garibay has said, “It is the richness of
the poor that I am drawn to and which
I am a part of, that I want to impart.” He often paints ordinary people in
scenes of political, religious, and
social complexity, where controversial
issues of justice and truth are presented
vigorously and colorfully. “Art is all about an idea that you
want to share, a way of seeing the world that you want people to
appreciate in their world.”
