2. JULIE LLUCH
• Julie Lluch is one of the foremost
exponents of terracotta in the
Philippines today. Her highly personal
art finds perfect expression in
Philippine indigenous clay to which
she refers as a most “sensuous and
pleasurable” feminine medium. Her
ideologically informed works of
sculptured women performing
various domestic chores, mostly
auto-biographical in origin, are sharp
feminist commentary on the
circumstances of women’s lives. Her
later works deal with spiritual
themes, particularly the Christian
paradox of death and rebirth, faith
and vulnerability as depicted in her
praying women series.

8. Abdulmari Imao
• The sarimanok is the favorite
subject matter of sculptor.
• He was proclaimed National
Artist for Sculpture in 2006.
• With his large- scale sculptures
and monuments of Muslim and
regional heroes and leaders
gracing selected sites from
Batanes to Tawi-tawi, Imao has
helped develop among cultural
groups trust and confidence
necessary for the building of a
more just and humane society.
