Melencio Sapnu

Melencio is a renowned Filipino Artist who hails from the historic province of Bataan in the Philippines.

Melencio’s power comes from the light, which descends in near-divine manner. Coupled with traditional Vigan structures and the inner wonders of nature, he conveys the graces of the old world.

A visionary dreamer and a prolific artist, his work extends beyond Philippine shores into the International Global Village. Because of his humble beginnings, he chooses to remain the people’s artist.
