Biography
A figurative impressionist and abstract painter, Ismael Esber was born in the Philippines on October 14, 1958.
His childhood started his creative spark, which made him take his first course in commercial art and graphic design. He spent his artistic journey with more than three decades of experience in the Philippines and abroad.
Speaking of core philosophy and experience, his world in advertising is always a foundational integrity. Undoubtedly, he meets his cutting edge and beyond and manages depth that resonates in his full-time career in painting.
Hence, to mention his highest recognition and the top recipient of the Prince Trust Foundation in the Middle East's kingdom-wide campaign "Art for Humanity."
Esberism and chromatic figures are obsessions tied to the ability to stimulate emotions through physicality; an intense focus on the physical body and movement needs an energy of playfulness, sensuality, theatricality, fluidity, musicality, subtlety, spontaneity, tactility, and expressiveness.
