My third contribution – Meet the Art Man – Filipino Artist Jerome Choco. (Pages 46-47) Thank you Dee Sanchez and Miguel Livelo.

Jerome “Art Man” Choco is a young and highly talented natural-born Filipino artist who hails from Angono, Rizal—“The Art Capital of the Philippines.” Jerome uses all mediums but his specialty is on realism, hyperrealism, and 3D art.  With almost 95K followers on Facebook, he is someone to watch out for in the years to come.

His Discovery Series intermittently depict stories embedded from his childhood dreams.  In his dreams, the Art Man aims to obtain supernatural powers.  Though his clever manipulation of folk aesthetic and material. Art Man’s provides his illusory characters with emblematic significance that transcends common discernment, offering new insights about their origins and relevance.  His self-discovery series in his art reveals the dream of his artistic impression on longing for his truest calling.  It can be a vision that we all need to look for things that is wrong and destructive in nature but in the end one flies away from trouble and learns from the experience.
