Genzel

Genzel San Jose is a self-taught Filipino artist whose work predominantly features acrylic and watercolor. His art delves into themes that inspire him, including feminism, social perceptions, misconceptions, and the discrimination faced by individuals or minority groups such as the LGBTQA+ community.

San Jose’s paintings are distinguished by specific elements such as sharp contours, golden eyes, and flat colors, primarily on the faces of his subjects. These faces often exhibit sad or emotionless expressions, adding an intriguing and thought-provoking dimension through intentional expressive ambiguity. This ambiguity engages viewers on a deeper level, encouraging personal interpretation and connection with each piece. This technique has become a signature style, setting his work apart from others.

Currently, San Jose is active in participating in art shows, exhibitions, and online platforms. He also sells merchandise inspired by his paintings, including tote bags, button pins, wallets, and plates. His primary goal is to inspire others and become a well-known artist, with aspirations of seeing his artworks displayed in renowned art galleries one day.
