Artist: Monnar Baldemor

Monnar Baldemor, son of prolific and internationally famous painter Manuel D. Baldemor, started his artistic career in the world of print media. A product of the University of the East’s School of Fine Arts, Monnar first honed his innate artistic skills by creating cartoons and comic strips for various nationally circulated publications. With pen and ink, and acrylic, the younger Baldemor has forged a path and style all his own – beginning with laborious and intricate pen-and-ink creations counterpointed on bright, pastel-colored backgrounds synonymous with surrealism.
