Winning works of the Metrobank Art and Design Excellence 2023

MANILA, Philippines — It was the first time that winning works of the Metrobank Art and Design Excellence competition were being exhibited alongside previously awarded paintings and sculptures. This was also the first time that the long-running, nationwide art contest was presenting at the new address of the Metropolitan Museum in Bonifacio Global City.

Two Grand Awardees for the Painting Recognition Program each received P350,000 worth of cash incentives. A P150,000 scholarship at the Linangan Art Residency was also given as part of MBFI’s support for their artistic development. Another three artists for the Painting Recognition Program bagged the Special Citation with a P100,000 cash prize each.

Beyond the qualities of the artwork, Dr. Boquiren-Gonzales looked further. “The winners were not selected only for their skills but for the artistic vision they wanted to contribute to the landscape of Philippine art.”A synergy galvanizes the different members of the art community, invigorating a dynamism emanating from each one’s contributions. The jurors in attendance from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao added their particulars for a lively and respectful discourse during the deliberations.

King makes it personal. “My purpose as an artist is to be able to help other artists have the same freedom that I’ve had throughout the years.” This resonates as well with Boquiren-Gonzales: “My own contribution is through artistic education.” Ultimately, it is the response of the artist that determines their course. “We encourage young artists to go out there, immerse, to know more about their subject and the soul of their subject,” Kublai says.
