Roger San Miguel, Filipino (1940 - ) Roger is often dubbed as the father of Filipino Impressionism . At the threshold of our century stands the art of painter Roger San Miguel who imposes on us his strong belief that rendering the simplest objects, realistic, abstract or non-objective, can be a summit of perfection, showing the concentrated qualities and power of a great mind.
San Miguel was born (Rogelio) on September 12, 1940 in San Pascual, Buhi, Camarines Sur to local barber Flaviano San Miguel and his wife Celedonia San Miguel. He took up Fine Arts at the University of Santo Tomas under the sponsorship of Filipino philanthropist and art connoisseur - Don Ramon Camacho of Cagayan de Oro. San Miguel s work contains a supremely enigmatic touch that sets it apart from other artists work. Wherever his work might have found a niche, the genius in it immediately takes on a visual magic. His art illustrates the beauty of the east, the wonders of the tropics that make the Orient a virtual paradise for the eyes, heart and soul.
His long list of local and international expositions from 1961 up to the present include art festivals in Caracas, Valenzuela (1967), Vancouver, Canada (1967), Sydney and Canberra, Australia (1967), Lund, Sweden (1972), Tokyo, Japan (1972), London (1973), Amsterdam (1974), Nyde, South Africa (1976), Jerusalem, Israel (1978), Oslo, Norway (1979), Zurich, Switzerland (1980), Munich, Germany (1987), Denmark (1990), Bali and Jakarta, Indonesia (1992, 1995), and Hong Kong (1996). His more recent exhibitions were at the Cultural Centre of the Philippines (1998) and Ayala Museum (1999).
He is a current member of The Art Association of the Philippines (AAP), Paranaque Photography Society (PPS) and the Philippine Association of Printmakers (PAP).
