Ismael Figueroa Esber

“Acclaimed to be as always timeless, strive to be authentic, be bold enough and learn to capture your imaginations.”

Ismael Figueroa Esber, a talented artist with a focus on figurative, impressionist, and abstract painting, was born in the Philippines on October 14, 1958. His artistic journey began during his childhood, sparking his interest in creativity. This interest led him to pursue his first course in Commercial Art and Graphics Design.

Over the course of three decades, he accumulated valuable experience in both the Philippines and abroad. Throughout his career, he maintained a strong commitment to the foundational integrity of the advertising world. As his career evolved, he ventured into abstract art, adding a profound sense of sophistication to contemporary styles, particularly in the realms of chromatic figurative art, fashion, and realism.

Esber’s dedication and innovation in his work have allowed him to remain at the cutting edge of the art world, consistently delivering art with depth and resonance. His achievements were further recognized when he became the top recipient of the Prince Trust Foundation’s ‘Art for Humanity’ campaign in the Middle East, gaining the highest recognition in the field.

Esber’s artistic technique revolves around chromatic figures, which serve as a conduit for evoking emotions through physical stimulation. This technique emphasizes a deep connection to the human body and its movements, embracing qualities like playfulness, sensuality, theatricality, fluidity, musicality, subtlety, spontaneity, tactility, and expressiveness. Esber’s work exemplifies his mastery of this technique, showcasing his ability to engage viewers on a profound emotional level through his art.
