The Filipino artists today, especially the
younger ones are different from their
predecessors. They no longer cling to Western
ideals develop their own system of beliefs,
forms, and styles by adapting the rich
heritage of Philippine folklore, customs, and
traditions. They are also conscious of the role
they play in society because they know that
their tools are powerful. They know that
through pen, brush, music, drama, or dance,

Activity 3.1 The artwork presented on the
right side is a masterpiece of a well-known
Filipino artist. Observe closely and analyze the
intention of the artist and its contribution in
promoting contemporary arts.

The Filipino Artist
Fernando Amorsolo – a painter, who
romanticized life, reminding Filipinos of
tranquil rural landscapes. Carlos
“Botong” Francisco drew, and painted
genre
paintings inspired by the life of
his town, Angono Rizal.

As a rule, the Filipino artist’s role is four-fold: the
personal, the social, the physical, and the
immaterial. First, the artist expresses what he or
she feels. Then, the artist expresses what he or
she sees around him or her. Also, the artist finds
a need to create something useful but also
pleasing to look at.
Examples
are the burnay or clay pottery of the Ilocos region

Finally, the artist gives form to the
immaterial, the hidden truths of the universe
and the spiritual force that inhabits the world.
Because of these roles, the artist can refine us
and evaluate our sense of what is beautiful
and sublime.
An artist reflects the time and culture of
his period but seen in a different light. In this
way, he or she gets to influence his reader,

Nick Joaquin - a Manileňo novelist,
playwright, journalist, historian, and essayist.
He started writing under the pen name of
Quijano de Manila for the Philippine Free
Press Magazine, chronicled the diverse
heritage of the Philippines and gave his
opinion about the culture of his time for
decades.
The artist is a crusader, attempting to sway
the viewer to his or her side. In the past
decades, there has been a rise in national
fervor. The Filipino artist has become a social
critic, exposing the inequalities of life, the
effects in most contemporary works today. The
artist has also become an advocate for what he
or she believes in. he or she creates
an artistic controversy, thereby becoming
agent of change.

The Filipina Artist
Women artist have become visible because of the initial steps
of three women graphic artists in the 1970s and 1980s.
Imelda Cajipe-Endaya, Brenda V. Fajardo, and Ofelia Gelvezon-
Tequi. They have entered the art scene and changed the
landscape from then on. They have started as printmakers
but later evolved their own genres, except for France-based
Gelveson-Tequi, who remained as printmaker and a painter.
Her latest work is a series of Philippine madonnas.

Brenda Fajardo, a doctor in the Philippine Studies
and Professor Emerita in the
University of the Philippines, is a multi-awarded
artist, educator, and cultural worker.
Among her national and international awards and
grants are the 2012 Gawad CCP para
sa Sining Biswal and the CCP Centennial Honors for
the Arts in 1999. Her nationalistic
themes are taken from Philippine Folklore, legends,
and mythology. She then relates
them to contemporary life. Her works are mostly in
pen and ink acrylic.

Imelda Cajipe-Endaya - a
mixed-media artist, curator,
writer, and organizer. She is one
of the first to use non-traditional
materials for her artworks
which are usually fragmented
arrangements of artistic scenes.
She is also an active women’s
rights advocate.

These women artists paved way for others to
assert their own identity. Other women artists soon
followed: sculptors Agnes Arellano, Julie Lluch,
Genera Banzon, Francesca Enriquez, and many
more.

In the late 1980s, Fajardo and Endaya,
together with Ana Fer, Julie Lluch, and Ida
Bugayong, founded KASIBULAN (Kababaihan sa
Sining at Bagong Sibol na Kamalayan), a group
whose goal was to pursue women’s agenda.
KASIBULAN addressed women’s issues through
arts.

Ligaya Fernando Amilbangsa – is a
noteworthy Filipina, model, historical recorder,
and conservationist. She is an artist, educator,
cultural researcher, and an advocate of the
indigenous arts of the South.

Many said that growing up a cultural dancer,
Amilbangsa nursed an intense love
for dance that made her study, conserve, and
promote a pre-Islamic dance tradition
called Pangalay- which means “gift offering” or “
temple of dance” in Sanskrit- among
the Samal, Badjao, Jama Mapun, and Tausug
people of the South. Her exhaustive
efforts to promote the Southern arts earned her the
prestigious Ramon Magsaysay
Award, Asia equivalent of the Nobel Peace Prize.
