National Artist for Visual Arts (2003)
(June 3, 1931 – May 11, 1995)
Background
Jose Joya is a painter and multimedia artist who excels at creating authentic Filipino abstract languages that transcend foreign influences. Most of Joya's paintings in harmonious colors were inspired by the Filipino landscape, such as green rice fields and golden harvest fields. When using rice paper for collages, he focused on transparency, a common feature of folk art. The curvilinear shape of his photographs is often reminiscent of the colorful, multi-layered "kipping" of the Pahya festival. His important mandala series was also drawn from the aesthetic forms and concepts of Asia.
Major Works
His compositions Beethoven Listening to the Blues, and Space Transfiguration, and other works like Hills of Nikko, Abstraction, Dimension of Fear, Naiad, Torogan, Cityscape.
