DEMETRIO
DIEGO +
Born
in 1909 in Bulacan. Perfected his art while working as illustrator
in several weekly magazines. Noted for his oil paintings of rural
maidens and for his pencil and charcoal sketches. Subjects
dealt mostly on rural scenes and folk art. Had
to switch to watercolor in later years due to the ill-effects of oil fumes
on his eyesight while painting. Was active in his art even late in
his life.
