Ismael Figueroa Esber (b. 1958), is a highly accomplished artist renowned for his proficiency in figurative, impressionist, and abstract painting. His artistic journey ignited in his formative years, stroking his passion for creativity and prompting him to embark on his first educational pursuit in Commercial Art and Graphics Design. Over a span of three decades, Esber garnered a wealth of experience, both within the Philippines and overseas, while upholding the unwavering principles of the advertising industry. As his career evolved, he boldly delved into the world of abstract art, infusing contemporary styles with a profound sense of refinement, particularly within the domains of chromatic figurative art, fashion, and realism.

His artistic prowess earned him the highest recognition in his field when he became the leading recipient of the Prince Trust Foundation’s prestigious ‘Art for Humanity’ campaign in the Middle East. This accolade serves as a testament to his exceptional contribution to the world of art and underscores his enduring impact. Central to Esber’s artistic technique is the concept of chromatic figures, a method through which he elicits emotions via physical engagement.
