THE ARTIST
Chiqui Rodriguez
Born 1976. Native of Angono, Rizal - the Philippines' declared art capital. Related to the realist painter Perdigon Vocalan. Abstract expressionist with a sustained studio practice since 2000.
Each series - Manifestation, Nothing but the Stars, Stillness to Elysian - emerges from months of disciplined introspection rather than spontaneous gesture. Her intellectual grounding is unusually rigorous: doctorate in communication from the University of the Philippines and executive education at the Asian Institute of Management inform how she frames, documents, and argues for the significance of her work.
She is the founder of KREATTIV - an AI-powered provenance platform built on the Felicitas Model, her own peer-reviewed research published through ICOIE. Other artists are invited to authenticate through the platform. Her own career served as the founding proof of concept.
