MORALES, Adrian

 

Adrian Morales was born in Baganga, Davao Oriental on September 6, 1971. He took up Mechanical Engineering Studies at Notre Dame College in Cotabato. He moved to Manila in 1992 to apprentice under his uncle, William Yu. Known for his modern take on Philippine folk art combined with abstract geometric forms, he paints with a cubic vein in limited palettes that are bold and expressive using heavy outlines to provide definition. His first exhibit in Bacolod City in 1997 was a sell out sponsored by Samantha and Jan Dale during the city’s Maskara Festival.
