JHUN CIOLO DIAMANTE






Jhun Ciolo Diamante earned a degree in Architecture but his love for the great outdoors in San Pablo, Laguna gave him early recognition as an award-winning plein air artist.

Later, he went to Bahrain as a graphic artist but continued his passion for his art in between jobs. His introduction to computers got him hooked by its magic and since then his love for the outdoors found its rival for his attention.

In 1997, Jhun brought his family to Canada where he continued to work as a graphic artist. At work, he met a fellow artist and member of the Philippine Artists Group. This lead to his joining the group and became the first of several young talents that brought more vigour to the PAG. Steadfastly, Jhun became an invaluable member and was elected as its secretary for two years. However, his mastery of the modern computer and creative web designing made him the group's computer guru and permanent webmaster of the internationally acclaimed website: www.philippineartists.com, a virtual gallery for all Filipino artists around the world. This multi-talented artist continues to awe people for his wizardry in using the computer as a digital canvas when not indulging in his outdoor painting.
