Gonzales,

It’s no wonder that, growing up in the tropical beach paradise of the Gigantes Islands in Iloilo, Philippines, Adriano de los Reyes Gonzales (“Duds”) holds a lifelong affinity with nature.

A self-supporting student artist throughout college, Duds earned a fine arts degree majoring in advertising from the University of the East in Manila. He was a scholar of the nonprofit organization Friends for Cultural Concerns of the Philippines. At university, he co-founded an art organization known as ARTSTROKE, which was renowned throughout the campus due to the remarkable achievements of its members.

Using mainly oils, Duds depicts his favorite subjects of flowers, birds, landscapes, and portraits in his signature realistic style, which he is now remaking as an intricate blend of realism with modern stylistic touches. He is a member of ARTipolo Group and FilEstilo artist group based in China, where he works as a designer and product developer.
