Nilo Badajos was born on July 15, 1962, in Cavite City. He is a figurative painter who currently resides in Hagonoy, Bulacan.

He trained under Romulo Galicano, a master of figurative expressionism. Through this mentorship, Badajos developed his own technique. He focused on mastering the human figure using light and shadow in an effective way.

Later in his career, he received a commission to paint portraits of the presidents of De La Salle University. These portraits are now displayed in the university’s museum.

Some of his notable works also include portraits of the Philippine Secretary of Health, Dr. Francisco Duque, and his family.
