Lucell Larawan

Born in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, in 1973, Lucell Larawan is a Filipino artist whose work has garnered global acclaim. With two finalist awards at the International Artist Grand Prize Championship in Taiwan and semi-finalist recognition at the national Metrobank Art and Design Excellence, his artistry transcends borders.

Larawan's dedication to art has earned him the prestigious Gawad Bagong Biswal from the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA). He has hosted eight solo exhibitions across the Philippines, including one supported by an NCCA Gallery grant in February 2023.

Beyond solo shows, Larawan has contributed to group exhibitions in Taiwan and the Philippines and played various roles in art festivals. His work has been reviewed by an international magazine (click this link: ) and regional newspapers, reflecting his impact on the art scene. Among his collectors are a senator of his country and a governor.

Inspired by modern expressionists and contemporary artists, Larawan uses acrylic on canvas, mercerized cotton strings, nails, wood, and wire to create textures that convey connectivity and freedom. A self-taught artist, he draws from peer mentorship with award-winning artists.
