He left school however, a year short of finishing his studies, choosing to pursue and develop his interest in art. A self-taught artist, he has worked as an illustrator creating artworks for film, independent comics and underground music labels. He later studied film and animation at the Mowelfund Film Institute producing two animated short films as a result. During this time he has also created a self-published comic-book anthology and started working on his serialized pen and ink drawings. He was invited to be a part of the seminal late-90’s art space/collective Surrounded By Water, where some of the more prominent, current artists of today have started their practice. He has participated in various groups shows ever since, both locally and abroad, handling his time between his day job as a (hand-drawn) key animator and in producing his own art. He now lives and works in Quezon City, Philippines.

Patricia Perez Eustaquio 派翠西亞．伊斯塔柯 派翠西亞．伊斯塔柯（1977 年 8 月出生於馬尼拉，並居住工作於此），曾於義大利研修 全球文化，之後於菲律賓大學主修繪畫並以最高榮譽取得繪畫學士學位。伊斯塔柯在 30 歲一輩的菲律賓當代藝術家中，表現相當傑出且具有一定代表性。她使用多樣的材料創 作，同時涉獵繪畫與雕塑，並將這兩種表現形式推衍至工藝和設計的範疇。她的作品探 討虛空的概念，援引史料及媒材演進的過程，藉由手工而雕琢出具有高度裝飾性的形象， 爾後刻意消除其中的某些部份，從而創造出存在和缺席間的顯著對比，為作品帶入了一 種異於描寫對象的微妙差距。 伊斯塔柯的繪畫聚焦於放大的靜物細節，她將這些靜物轉 變成一種巨大且具有豐富裝飾的陳訴。而在鬼魅雕塑系列中，她使用手工蕾絲搭構出沒 有實體支撐的立體雕塑。該系列以鉤針織品製成的鬼魅鋼琴《解離性神遊》（Psychogenic Fugue），曾在 2010 年於香港藝術中心「乍現」（Popping Up）展覽中與許多亞洲重要
藝術家，如林明弘與伊東豊雄等的作品一起展出；同年也在新加坡美術館的年度藏家展 Chimera 裡展出。
伊斯塔柯是 13 菲律賓藝術家獎的獲獎人，這個獎項是菲律賓文化中心獎勵 40 歲以下優 秀藝術家的國家獎項。2009 年她獲得了 Ateneo 藝術大賞的首獎，作品在許多國家進行 展出，包括新加坡、馬來西亞、泰國、香港、紐約、巴賽爾。典藏部份涵蓋了新加坡美 術館，與東南亞與歐美的私人收藏。 Patricia Perez Eustaquio or Patty Eustaquio (b. August 1977; lives & works in Manila) studied World Cultures in Trieste, Italy and pursued a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting (Magna cum Laude) at the University of the Philippines. Eustaquio works in a variety of media in both painting and sculpture, pushing both forms into the realm of craft and design. Her works explore the vanity of such constructs, citing histories and processes related to different materials by crafting highly decorative objects and then deliberately shaving off its parts to create the stark contrasts of what is present vs. the absent, arriving at the finished albeit nuanced form. Her paintings depict magnified details of still lives, transforming them into ornately shaped, large canvasses. Her ghost forms constructed out of handmade lace are shrouds that take on the form of their former selves, so that a chair appears only as its shell and nothing more. Of this series, Eustaquio’s Psychogenic Fugue, a sculpture in crocheted lace of a ghost piano, was included in the exhibit, Popping Up, at the Hong Kong, China Art Centre in 2010 alongside artists Michael Lin, Toyo Ito and other established Asian artists. It was also included in Credit Suisse’s Chimera show at the Singapore Art Museum in 2012. Patricia is a Thirteen Artists’ Award recipient. It is an award given to Filipino artists below 40 years of age by the national arts commission, the Cultural Center of the Philippines, every three to four years. She is also the winner of the Ateneo Art Awards in 2009, and part of its shortlists for 2010 and 2012. Her work has been exhibited in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, China, New York, and Basel, and her work is part of the Singapore Art Museum collection and private collections in Southeast Asia as well as in the U.S. and Europe. She has also presented works in Open Studios in the Netherlands, where she was an artist-in-residence in Delft, in 2009, under the a.i.r. program of stitching id11 and in New York state, where she was a resident in Art Omi in New York in 2010.
