PHILIP VICTOR (born Felipe Cadid Victor on May 1, 1944) finished his degree from the University of Santo Tomas with a double major in Advertising and Painting. He is one of the contemporary artists whose name is written in the Philippine Arts History. He made remarkable contributions to the country’s arts by introducing creations that were entirely new-fangled and beautified by his own personal stroke. He won several times in different art competitions and 7 of them came from the Arts Association of the Philippines. Phillip was able to hold 14 one-man shows since the beginning of his visual arts career. He participated in nearly 200 group exhibitions. He went abroad to promote Philippine Arts. 12 of his group shows were held in different countries and a one-man show in New York was held last October 2003. He is also a member, Icon and leader of two important local art groups; one of the founder of Hagonoy Art Group and past President of Lakan Sining ng Bulacan.
Phillip Victor’s arts evolved into 4 stages; experimental, mixed media, installation paintings and what he called beyond arts, where he keeps on introducing and presenting different art resources and materials that are innovative in nature. They are very unusual and unique kind of arts that give justice to his equally inimitable art concept. He died last July 19, 2006.
