Aldrino Abes, came to Manila in 1995 at age 20. He first worked as a sign maker and later apprenticed to painter Carlo Magno, who exposed him to realistic interiors and facades of old houses before his mentor went into abstraction. Abes eventually abandoned this subject and found alternative expression in the rough simplicity of strokes and figures referencing highland ethnic Filipino communities. One of Abes' works was successfully auctioned in Hong Kong 2008. His Latest exhibits include Galerie Joaquin Singapore's Art of Giving in 2008, The Greenlight: LaSallian Festival of Art: Auction in 2009, and Galerie Joaquin's Year 8 anniversary Show in 2010, 2011 in "Year 9", and 2012, Year 10.
