Onib Olmedo

 Onib Olmedo (b.1937, d.1996)
graduated from the Mapua Institute of Technology with a bachelor’s degree in Architecture (1959). Known for his expressionistic style, Olmedo inspired many young artists with his distorted and ghostlike images. His black and white compositions create an eerie world brought about by inner fears and anxieties.

Born: July 7, 1937, Manila, Philippines
