Antonio Dizon was born in the Philippines and attained a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts at Philippine Women’s University. Before migrating to Canada in 2000, he managed his own advertising and art painting business. He joined solo and group art exhibits and participated in juried competitions around Vancouver. Antonio’s stylized technique with bright palette and bold figurative lines is reminiscent of art from the Pre-Columbian era, and is quite influenced by Picasso, Matisse, Van Gogh and Filipino artists like Dela Rosa, Malang and Baldemor.
