Born to a family of potters, it has become second nature for Butch Libo-on to be working on terra cotta as his art medium. He started shaping artistic pieces since he was 16 years old and his signature style has set his art a class of its own.

June 2009 - ArtSlant's Juried Winner, Rosalia Bermudez, discusses the inspiration and process behind her work.
Joan Honoridez-Mocorro: Your work, The Weight of Things got me. It seems to evoke a feeling of lightness, like floating on air. What were you thinking when you conceptualized it?
Rosalia Bermudez: The work is an installation, consisting of 200+ individual pieces of "paper" that are suspended from the ceiling by thin fishing line, that is hardly detectable from a distance - so they really do a... [more]

Dave Palanca is an artist to watch. Now 47, he has come to be identified with his pen-and-ink works depicting the sacadas or sugarcane plantation workers of his native province, Negros Occidental, Philippines.
