Samuel Penaso
Samuel Penaso’s works are a mix of his experiments in media including painting, performance, sculpture, installation and video among others. Penaso is influenced by his dichotomy of life experiences as a child growing up in the country and as an adult living in the city. Experiences, emotions and stories about him and others are widely expressed in his works, most notably in his portraits. His work generates waves of nostalgia, weaving the purity of childhood experiences together with his present ideologies.
Penaso is a visual and performance artist from Guindulman, Bohol. He received a BFA at the Technological University of the Philippines. He has held solo exhibitions in Japan, Thailand, Austria, Germany, Singapore, among others. He represented the Philippines in the Nippon International Performance Art Festival in both 2005 and 2011 and has participated in the the Asian International Art Exhibition, Ayala Museum, Manila; ArTriangle, Malaysia and Young Art Philippines, Luxembourg. He is one of the core members of Tupada Action and Media Art (TAMA) a group of performance artists and an active member of the Art Association of Philippines (AAP).
