Demi Padua

Considered to be one of the most sought-after Filipino contemporary artists, Demi Padua fuses figurative and abstract elements into the composition of his works to stimulate the viewer’s mind. Through a series of collage-like images, he conceals individuals under layers of photo-realistic materials while also revealing pieces of them that show their real identities. Padua has exhibited his works in every edition of Art in the Park since 2006.
