Biography
Raymond Tesoro Cruz is an Ilocano artist with a half-Bulakeño background. He was born in Malolos, moved to Manila, and currently resides in Rizal. Somewhere along his journey, he fell in love with art and music. A contemporary artist inspired by the aesthetic principles of Asian Art, Wabi-sabi and Abstraction. He works with various mediums, including photography, mixed media, and painting.
Cruz's works are more of a suggestion than a description; they revolve around the concept of self-expression and the paradox of emotion and the impassive. He works with the boldness of black and the infinite possibilities of white. His pieces reflect not only the contrast between shadow and highlight but also their interaction and interdependence. Within his practice, he integrates his response to what he feels, sees, hears, and experiences, embracing the unknown, uncertainty, and imperfection.
