Self-taught artist Kinoo Padlan’s eerie paintings, both frightening and fantasy like, are inhabited by intricately rendered fictional figures, imaginary creatures and dark surrealist settings. The Pangasinan-based artist is able to navigate esoteric, political and environmental themes within the dark symbols depicted in his paintings. Padlan was born in 1988. He was in semi-finalist in Metrobank Art and Design Excellence - watercolor media on paper in 2017 and one of the BISKEG artists that granted CANVAS’ Artists in Residence Program in Batangas in 2020.
