Glenmore Lawig was born on March 3, 1986, in Macalelon, Quezon. He is the eldest of ten children of Mr. Luis Lawig Jr. and Mrs. Marife M. Lawig, both farmers. Growing up, he faced many challenges. Because of financial struggles, he stopped schooling in his third year of high school. Instead, he helped his parents work on the farm. In 2006, he worked as a truck helper for businessman Alfredo Cuneta. A year later, he took on several roles in a bank, including janitor, messenger, copier operator, and filing clerk. However, he was later diagnosed with meningitis, which forced him to pause his work. By 2009, he recovered from his illness and began exploring networking opportunities. While managing this business, he also worked as a driver for a distributor company in 2011. Later, in 2014, he became a personal driver. Eventually, in 2017, he discovered that his true passion lies in the arts. Glenmore’s creativity led him to sculpt using brass, glass, and clear cast resin. Through these materials, he creates unique and expressive works. Most of his sculptures combine modern techniques with traditional Filipino elements. As a result, his art reflects both cultural heritage and his humble beginnings.

Mark Belicario

Mark Belicario (b. 1983) is a Filipino visual artist from Cebu, Philippines. He primarily works with oil on canvas. From a young age, he developed a strong passion for painting. Early on, he joined workshops and competed in both local and national art competitions. Although he experienced setbacks at times, he consistently achieved success in many of these contests. Education and Early Development Belicario studied drawing and painting at Aroma Art Atelier in 2016 under Living Master Orley Ypon. Through this training, he refined his technical skills and artistic discipline. Later, in 2020, he became President of Aroma Art Atelier, further establishing his role in the art community. Awards and Achievements Throughout his career, Belicario has received numerous recognitions. In 2021, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts honored him with the Ani ng Dangal Award for Visual Art. Earlier, in 2020, The Culture Magazine ranked him number 18 among the World’s Greatest Living Painters. In addition, he became a finalist in the Art Renewal Center (ARC) International Salon in 2020. He also won the Grand Prize at the World Wide Kitsch International Art Competition in 2019. Moreover, he earned First Runner-Up in the Vision Petron Art Competition in 2010. In 2012, he secured the Grand Prize at the first Cebu AAP National Painting Competition. Since 2008, Belicario has participated in more than thirty exhibitions across the Philippines. Artistic Style and Approach Belicario explores form through experimentation and expressive composition. His works communicate dramatic and emotional narratives. Through his use of light and shadow, he creates a sense of depth and intensity. At the same time, his paintings balance light and darkness. This contrast allows viewers to experience both clarity and mystery within his compositions. As a result, his works often evoke a powerful and immersive response. Evolution of Style Over time, Belicario’s style has evolved significantly. Compared to his earlier works, his recent paintings focus less on fine details. Instead, he emphasizes bold brushstrokes, light, and color. Furthermore, his compositions now incorporate natural and atmospheric elements. These elements enhance the emotional impact of his works while maintaining recognizable forms. Influences and Inspiration Belicario draws inspiration from both classical and contemporary artists. His influences include Leonardo da Vinci, Odd Nerdrum, Vincent Desiderio, and Orley Ypon. He also admires Rembrandt’s use of light and shadow, particularly in chiaroscuro techniques. In addition, he studied works by William Turner and Thomas Moran to understand luminous effects in painting. Within the Philippines, he takes inspiration from masters such as Juan Luna and Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo. Through these influences, Belicario continues to refine his artistic voice and creative direction.
