No.1 Painting

Three decades of Chiqui Rodriguez' life takes her from the Philippines' art capital in Angono (the hometown where she shared with national artists Carlos "Botong" Francisco and Lucio D San Pedro) to Berlin and various international art scenes. Granddaughter to a well-known realist artist - the late Perdigon Vocalan, Chiqui is known for her emotionally uplifting abstracts. Her art encompasses an astonishing variety of media including painting, drawing, music covers, and interior design to name a few. Her work ranges from coffee on paper featuring "intense" post-modern imagery, to her "advection" painting that exemplifies the movement of paint due to force and transforms into celestial bodies. Her limited edition paintings continue to rise in value that makes her one of the most sought-after living artists, and an important voice in the art scene. We are proud that the Philippines continues to create its mark in the art world through a Filipina who comes from an artist lineage in Angono and produces artworks that inspire community development.
