Born in Manila, Philippines, his paintings still carry the undertones of his youth in that country and in that time. In 1991 he moved to Chicago, Illinois and found himself displaced in his new surroundings. Amidst the strained memories of the Philippines, Robert tends to envision and unintentionally revisit that space of time through his work.
His paintings, including his Squatters series were featured at the Jack Olson Gallery at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois in 2006. In the same year, several of his paintings, including “Nonetheless,” were displayed at the Asian American Cultural Center in DeKalb, Illinois. In 2008, “Mount Pinatubo” and “Casañas Street” from his Squatters series were judged and selected for display in the Beyond the Barrelman Showcase at the Mercury Cafe in Chicago, Illinois. In 2009, “Christiana,” from his Irving Park series was selected to be featured at New Wave Coffee in Logan Square, as a part of the Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival. Robert has donated his work to international charities for fund-raising and his photographs has been featured in local blogs, newspapers and readers.
He is currently employed as a Graphic Artist for a film production company.
