Ferdie montemayor biography

House Artist

b. 1965

            Born in Tarlac, the artist has nevertheless spent his entire life in Antipolo, a hillside pilgrimage town in the east that overlooks the sprawl of metropolitan Manila.

The fact of his location and environment has been part and parcel of the artist's life - and consequently his art. A founding member of the Antipolo-based artist group Salingpusa, Montemayor has been active in the local community of artists; first, as a collaborator for projects and works among local painters and peers; and later as mentor to a younger group of artists who would also

achieve renown for their own work.
