Paul Hilario is a Filipino painter who works in the figurative expressionism genre.
His inspiration to create is to visualize information, issues, contradictions, scenarios,
events, fallacies and realities of life. His subject matter can be anything from personal, social, historical and political. Most of the time, he uses symbolism and prefers to create a scene of disconnections between individual images and items within the canvas. His point of view reconnects the images. He likes to make stories and prefers to use themes that spans the emotional spectrum.[1] He was influenced by the paintings of post-impressionist Vincent Van Gogh and Filipino modernist Vicente Manansala, until he stumbled upon the Marcel Antonio virtual school of art. Much encouraged at school, he examined the Byzantine era (330 to 1453) to learn old master techniques and added his own signature.[2] Aside from the Philippines, his works have found their way to collectors in Australia, Canada, Dubai, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States.[3] Boy Go, Abstract Painter Duyan ni Nanay (Rocking Chair Of My Mother)
