Patricia Perez Eustaquio -Artist
There are a few people whom you meet early in life and you think to yourself this person is special they are going to do something that will be a great contribution to the world. Patty Eustaquio is one of those people. I met her many years ago in College in UP Baguio where she was teaching Fine Arts and during that time we spent enough time together for me to know that she was on her way to doing something very special. Once many years ago we spent a magical week trekking through the mountains from Mt. Pulag in Kabayan, Benguet all the way to Kiangan in Ifugao through dense forests and mountain villages. Almost 20 years after that trek we return to rehash that experience and share her life's work creating art for the Philippines.
A recipient of The Cultural Center of the Philippines’ Thirteen
Artists Awards, she has also gained
recognition through several residencies abroad, including Art
Omi in New York and Stichting Id11 of the Netherlands. She has
also been part of several notable exhibitions, such as The Vexed
Contemporary in the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design,
Manila; That Mountain is Coming at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris,
France; and An Atlas of Mirrors in the 2016 Singapore Biennale. (From -Silver Lens Gallery)
Patty is an artist whose work takes a fresh look at things that are often seen as set in stone. In her latest solo show, 'Hoarding Fossils in Blankets' she explores the works of old masters and transforms them into intricate tapestries created by a community of women. Taking a singularity and transforming it into a shared art space. In the podcast she talks about how a piece of art is created by this one great master artist who is usually a man and this is juxtaposed by her work transforming those pieces by the great masters into what are works of community and her own very vibrant imagination. Meeting Patty, even 20 years ago you would find someone who outwardly seems both shy and insecure about her talent but getting to know her you find a rich treasure throve of ideas and fresh ways of looking at ordinary things around you, exploring the day to day as something new to be explored and reworked in the fantasy worlds that she creates in her mind.
