Ang Kiukok's success stems mainly from the

honesty of his art.

It is one of Ang Kiukok's strengths that he

never allowed himself to be bulldozed by the

public's whims.

Kiukok's paintings serve as reminders to a

society where integrity and moral rectitude

receive more lip service than practice.

Ang Kiukok continues to be a respected but

enigmatic figure in the Manila art scene.

Named National Artist in Visual Arts in 2001

unconventional paintings

“figurative expressionism”

depict harsh truths in life
