“Between order and chaos, realism and bold strokes give voice to feeling”

@amos.malayao

Born in 1995, Amos Malayao hails from Cavite. He once studied fine arts at the Technological University of the Philippines before choosing to pursue painting full time.

His work always strikes a balance between order and chaos. Built on strong images, each painting shifts between realistic rendering and bold strokes, using different techniques to express a particular emotion. Most of his pieces grow out of personal reflection, and he hopes those who encounter them will feel what he felt while painting. Never stagnant in his explorations, he has developed a style that is unmistakably his own.

He was Grand Winner of the Philippine National Oil Company Art Competition (2015) and a finalist in both the Shell National Student Art Competition and the Vision Petron National Student Art Competition (2014).
