Jep Dizon graduated from Far Eastern University with a degree in Fine Arts and a major in painting. He worked in the corporate sector as a graphic designer before he decided to become a full-time artist. Dizon has gained recognition from Shell National Art Competition and Metrobank Arts and Design Excellence for his remarkable works and has been part of numerous group exhibits since 2015 and had his first solo show in 2019.
Dizon believes that an artist should always be honest and work with integrity while looking for inspiration, He loves experimenting and exploring his environment. You can identify his work with classical, contemporary realism. His human subjects would often be represented as faceless or with hidden faces suggesting anonymity. He intently erases identity in order for his audiences to access and relate with his works. Most of his subjects are based on his environment, and some are influenced by music or his hobbies.
For his upcoming solo exhibit, he relates his works with modern trends such as technology and social media platforms. For him, the concept of these platforms became the illusion of our reality where we often forget to see the beauty of the natural environment and the importance of present moments. His works are a weave of past and present experiences.
