Mar Balcos

Filipinler'in Palawan Eyaletinden bir Görsel Sanatçıdır. Sanatla olan ilişkisini depresyona karşı rehabilitasyon programının bir parçası olarak Sanat Terapisi atölyeleri aracılığıyla keşfetti ve kendi kendini yetiştiren bir sanatçı olarak devam etti.

His work mirrors and represents the mega biodiversity of the Philippine ecosystem drawn from his childhood and memories of life in the islands. His experience in fieldwork for the local government working alongside indigenous and grassroots communities in Palawan have greatly influenced his themes and reflect the intertwining divergent coexistence of nature and culture and its precarious balance. Balcos graduated from Ateneo de Cagayan Xavier University with a Bachelor degree in Agri Sciences and studied Master in Science in Intl Horticulture from the Univ of Life and Applied Sciences (BOKU) Vienna, Austria. He also has a Diploma in Rural Agriculture from Australia. Member of Phil. Botanical Art Society. Member of International Society for Educators in Art.
