About Manny Garibay
Manny Garibay is one of the most critically acclaimed Filipino artists today.  Amanda Watson of the South China Morning Post once wrote that "(h)is works include strong expressions of Filipino spirituality and (he) rejects colonial religious models which he feels create an identity crisis that prevents his people from assessing their situation from their own perspective."

Ian Findlay Brown, Editor of Asian Art News adds that "the rawness of Garibay's images is immediately arresting to the eye... colors and hues are rich; the surface textures seem to cry out, even bleed his message (not one that is entirely direct or facile). One has to think carefully on his works. His overlayings of images, a common device, for example, suggest to the viewer that behind each surface image is much, much more to be revealed."
