Leonardo M. Hidalgo is a Filipino artist born in San Fernando, La Union on January 9, 1935. At the age of seven, Hidalgo started showing signs of high potential in the arts. While at a parade, Hidalgo sculpted a figure of a man by molding the candle wax drip with his own hands. His art studies continued at University of Santo Tomas and was also granted an Italian government art scholarship at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome, Italy. Under the tutelage of artists such as Galo Ocampo, Vicente Manansala and Francisco Ricardo Montia, Hidalgo's art flourished. He has been given awards for his work and has exhibited his paintings across the world. ==Some chosen awards and major art experiences== *1961 - Golden Cup "Premio Internazionale di Pittura Estemporanea" Lago di Bracciano, Italy *1962 - Silver Cup "Premio Gubbio 1962" Gubbio Perugia, Italy *1963 - Worked as a Scenic Artist during the filming of the "Agony and Ecstasy of Michelangelo" (painting the ceiling and walls of the Sistine chapel) Dino de Laurentiis Movie Studio - Rome, Italy *1963-1965 - Philippine Representative to France's Biennale de Paris *1966 - "Concorso Internazionale di Pittura Estemporanea" Castilli Romani Roma, Italy *Various others: Commissioned for bust portraits of eleven presidents of the Philippines Had at least eight major commissions of murals/stained glass/religious/historical work Had at least five major sculptural monuments (including the "The 9 Martyrs" which stands in front of the Central Library at the University of Santo Tomas) Had at least twenty-five one-man international art exhibitions Had at least eighty-four major group art exhibitions Set designer for Russian Philadelphia Ballet Theatre (productions of ''Nutcracker'', Don Quijote, Giselle) Restored the 14 Station of the Cross at the Olde Saint Augustine Church in Philadelphia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leonardo Hidalgo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
