World-class brass sculptor and TOYM awardee Michael Cacnio’s signature style excels in bringing about the emotions surrounding the realization of certain moments in life. He successfully and beautifully captivates in his art the feelings of hope, love, wonder, awe, innocence and glee and the profound effect a moment has in one’s life.

Cacnio hails from the town of Malabon, north of Metro Manila, Philippines. A product of the prestigious College of Fine Arts of the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Cacnio has held countless solo exhibits in the Philippines, New York, Singapore and Japan, earning critical acclaim as well as commercial success in Asia, Europe and the USA.

In 2007, he became the first Filipino artist to be featured in a solo exhibit in the European Commission’s headquarters in Berlaymont, Brussels. He then participated in the Anchor Show of the Philippine Art Trek in Singapore in 2008. He was a recipient of numerous awards and citations, one of which was The Outstanding Young Men in the Philippines (TOYM) Award in 2006. He is a member of the Presidential Commission on Culture and the Arts and has been featured in several reputable publications and in broadcast media.

As Cacnio marks his second decade in the Philippine art scene, he continues to captivate audiences with his explorations and his well-received exhibitions, more than 50 both locally and abroad to date, as well as consistently positive reviews from critics and collectors alike, are clear testaments to a strong following that can only continue to grow in decades to come.

In March of 2013, a one man show by the brilliant Cacnio commences, showcasing his profound art depicting milestones and moments in the Filipino lives. Milestones runs from March 16, 2013 to April 16, 2013 at Charlie’s Art Gallery.
