Kadi Santos

Kadi Santos, rooted in San Jose, Iba, Tarlac, embodies a journey shaped by diverse experiences. Immersed in his family’s sash factory business from a young age, Kadi’s artistic talents blossomed through wood crafting, passed down by his father. Before pursuing higher education, he contributed to sustaining their family business, gaining invaluable insights into its challenges.

After earning his Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts with a focus on Advertising from Tarlac State University in 2017, Kadi’s horizons expanded further through an overseas stint in Saudi Arabia. This experience not only broadened his perspective but also sensitized him to the harsh realities faced by Filipino workers globally. Drawing from these rich life experiences, Kadi’s art becomes a canvas for personal narratives and societal commentary, exploring the depths of human emotion and addressing pressing issues such as depression and systemic challenges.
