Manuel Baldemor is a Filipino painter, sculptor, printmaker, writer and book illustrator.[1] He was born on March 26, 1947, in Paete, Laguna, Philippines.
He is best known for his paintings on various media that depict scenes in simplified geometric forms with a folk art character. Most of his subjects in art are his hometown, its people, their everyday activities, and their celebrations.[2]
His works are known not only in the Philippines but also in other countries. He is an artist-in-residence in Chile, Estonia, France, Israel, Japan, Singapore, Switzerland and Portugal. His works is known internationally because UNICEF is reproducing his works as greeting cards that are distributed worldwide.[2][3]
Early career and education
[edit]Manuel Baldemor studied at the University of Santo Tomas College of Architecture and Fine Arts (CAFA), which later became the College of Architecture and the College of Fine Arts and Design. While a student, he worked with Mabini artists to support himself financially.[4] His classmates often sought his help with their academic art plates, recognizing his distinctive skill and style.
During his stay, he was influenced by modernist principles introduced by National Artist Victorio Edades. Baldemor was later featured in exhibitions tracing the roots of modern art in the Philippines, alongside other prominent artists shaped by Edades’ legacy.[5]
In his senior year, he worked as a layout artist an editorial cartoonist for the Philippine Graphic. This started his career in publication.
Career
[edit]His career started as a painter when he depicted the beauty of his hometown Paete, Laguna through pen-and ink. His mural work "Paete I" won the grand prize in the Art Association of the Philippines Art Competition and Exhibition in 1972.[6] The next year, his mural work "Paete II" won the same prize. His consecutive wins paved the way for him to become a representative of the Philippines for the XIV International Art Exhibition in Paris in 1973. The art critic, Leonides Benesa, hails him as "The Folk Artist".[7]
In the 1970s he developed his own brand of art that had fused his rural memories. He created several works depicting the Philippine ideal through Folk Modernist treatment. His first exhibit "The Graphic of Manuel D. Baldemor" at the Hidalgo Gallery in 1972 marked the debut of his career.[7]
He won his third gold prize for the annual Art Association of the Philippines competition for his fine prints in 1983. He experimented with other media such as watercolour, acrylic, tempera, oil in canvas, woodcut, ceramics, glass, grass paper and fine prints.[2]
Apart from his depictions of everyday life, Baldemor has ventured into spiritually themed art. His work "Moments with Christ" is noted for invoking a sense of divine inspiration and adds another dimension to his repertoire.[8]
Rosalinda Orosa, an art connoisseur and columnist, called him "The Chronicle of the Motherland" for depicting the beauty of all the places of the Philippines.[9] In 1992, the Cultural Center of the Philippines awarded him as one of the Thirteen Artist Awardees as recognition for his contributions to the country.[7]
He garnered travel grants as artist-in-residence in France[10], England[11], Switzerland[12], Russia, Spain[13], Portugal[11], and Scandinavia[14] in Europe; United States[15], Mexico[16] and Chile[11] in the Americas; Iran, Israel, Egypt, South Korea, India, Malaysia and China[17] in Asia. Each country he visited became a topic and subject for his art. He became known as an International Artist and also the Most Travelled Artist for traveling to more than 50 countries.
In 1995, he marked his 25th anniversary as an artist with an exhibit at the Artists’ Corner in SM Megamall, featuring two works: "Sining Bayan", which reflected his Filipino identity, and "The Global Village", which highlighted his international engagements. Ambassadors from countries where he had served as an artist-in-residence attended as guests of honor.[2] In 1998, President Fidel V. Ramos attended the inauguration of his mural "Pasasalamat"[18], now permanently displayed at the United Nations Center in Vienna, Austria.[19] His international recognition continued in 2013 when Ambassador Carlos C. Salinas opened his exhibit Symphony of Colors in Madrid, as part of the Philippines–Spain Friendship Day celebrations, further reflecting the international scope of Baldemor’s artistic career.[13] That same year, he held a one-day exhibit titled Philippine Skyland at UNESCO in Paris, featuring works that depicted the life and culture of the Ifugao people.[20]
He is also a sculptor. In 1982 he won his fourth gold prize for sculpture at the Annual Art Association of the Philippines Competition with his piece "Tribute to the Filipino Farmer," exhibited at the City Gallery in Luneta in 1980, as a tribute to his father, Perfecto S. Baldemor. In 1999, he represented the Philippines at the 3rd Inami International Wooden Sculpture Camp in Toyama Prefecture, Japan, where he produced the monumental "Pamilyang Pilipino," measuring 1m wide by 4m high. [2]
On October 1–14, 1999, he exhibited his 100th show entitled "A Distinctive Milestone" as a painter and sculptor at the Artists’ Corner in SM Megamall. At that time, he was the only artist to exhibit his works a hundred times.[7]
He is also a writer and part of the Writers’ Guild of the Philippines. His poems and essays are featured in leading newspapers and magazines. He was a columnist for culture in two major newspapers. His weekly column entitled "Folio" appeared in the Sunday Times of the Manila Times newspaper in 1992 to 1994. He continued his weekly column in the "Art and Culture Section" of "The Philippines Star" from 1997 to 1999. In 2025, he actively participated in the 51st National Writers Congress of the Writers’ Union of the Philippines (UMPIL), where he designed and donated the handcrafted trophies for the Gawad Pambansang Alagad ni Balagtas literary awards.[21]
He showed his skills as a graphic designer by making souvenir programs for the XI World Congress of Cardiology in 1991, the XXII International Conference on Internal Medicine in 1994, and other commemorative books about the history and cultivation of the Philippines.[22]
In 1980, he was awarded "Gawad Sikap" for Visual Arts for the 400th anniversary of his hometown. Paetenians International Northeast Chapter acknowledged him as the "Paetenian of the Year" in 1985 and one of the "Ten Outstanding Living Paetenians" in 2000. He was also awarded as one of the "Natatanging Buhay na Anak ng Bayan" in the Celebration of Balik-Paete 2004.[23]
He sometimes leads the patronage and affirmation of Paete through his shows such as "Salubong" in Nayong Pilipino in 1978, "The Masters of Paete Exhibit" at the City Gallery, Luneta in 1980, the grand exhibition of "The Paete Phenomenon" at the Cultural Center of the Philippines, the tape-recording of two historical concerts of Band 69 – "Konsyerto ng Pamanang Himig" and "Konsyerto ng Sentenaryo ng Banda" – at the UP Abelardo Hall in 1997, and the "Konsyerto ng Sentenaryo ng Kalayaan ng Bansa" inside the hundred-year Church of Paete, Laguna.[24]
His works are known internationally because UNICEF is reproducing his works as greeting cards that are distributed worldwide[1][23][25] He has been noted for painting both the Philippines and the world, capturing local culture while engaging with global themes.[26] Some of his artworks have also been adapted into cross-stitch patterns and featured in exhibitions in Europe, reflecting the versatility and international appeal of his visual style.[27]
In 2009, Baldemor completed a monumental glass mosaic mural titled "People Power", which was installed at the Basilica of St. Thérèse in Lisieux, France. Created in collaboration with French mosaicists Sylvie Henot and François Sand, the work commemorates the 1986 People Power Revolution in the Philippines. The mural is part of the basilica’s permanent collection, symbolizing peace and spiritual solidarity. Its installation marked a rare honor for a Filipino artist in one of France's most significant religious pilgrimage sites.[28]
