Roberto B. Feleo (b. 1954) is one the formidable figures in the Philippine art community today. Throughout almost four decades of artmaking, he has mounted more than a dozen solo exhibitions, two of them outside the Philippines—in Japan’s Fukouka Art Museum and in Cuba’s Center Wifredo Lam.

As well, Feleo’s works can be seen in public art institutions in the Philippines and abroad. Locally, he is in the permanent collection of the National Museum of the Philippines, the Cultural Center of the Philippines, the University of the Philippines Diliman Vargas Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Manila, and the Bencab Museum, the Hiraya Gallery, the Drawing Room Gallery, and Altro Mondo Creative Space. Overseas, his works are found in the Fukouka Art Museum, Centro Wifredo Lam, the Singapore Art Museum, Asia Pacific Musée National D’Arte Moderne Centre Pompidou, and Fenix Rotterdam.

Ever evolving, Feleo’s pieces are focused on the various aspects of being Filipino, such as the nation’s history, myths, traditions, and the quaint nuances of a multi-dimensional way of life.
