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.
