An influential personality from the ‘60s to the present, Raul Isidro (b.1943) is a true visionary, never exhausted in exploring and venturing in the use of experimental media. He has worked on sculptures and started working on mixed media abstracts in the ‘60s with the use of acrylic, firstly introduced in the country at the time. He experimented with the use of gold leaf on canvas in the late ‘80s while in the United States, but has shown it publicly only in the early ‘90s. The changing mood of mother earth and the environment predominantly influence Isidro’s works. 

A celebrated artist and member of the community, Raul Isidro was awarded the Ten Outstanding Young Men (TOYM) in 1979, the Outstanding Samareño Award in 2011, and the Outstanding Thomasian Award in 2006.

Even after more than a hundred solo and group exhibits held in the country and in major cities in the U.S., Israel, India, Indonesia, Spain, West Germany, France, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, China and Singapore, Raul Isidro remains the same dedicated artist as he was since the beginning.
