Darwin Japat Guevarra

Hailing from humble town of Taytay Rizal, Darwin “JAPAT” Guevarra is self-taught artist inspired by works of the masters as well as his peers. Darwin was imbibed with the wisdom of how he would be able to create a concrete foundation of a concept upon which he would build his works or art. Fueled by his paintbrush ad to perfect his techniques. Experience taught him well, but he was further honed through joining art competition, which not only challenged him to be at the top of his game, but also allowed him to see the various points of view of other artist. Eventually, he found his métier in grounding his concept on life and social realism. More often, he finds that he is drawn toward actual situations that are tangible to him and he tries to veer away from the political and religious, and circumstances where he is unable to draw conclusion that close to the truth. His body of works was built through being active in art competitions and group shows. Darwin now lives in Laguna where he continues to feed his curiosity and develop his technique further through painting, sculpting, photography, and experimenting with scrap and molded materials.
