Graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Industrial Design in University of Santo Tomas in 1995, RV BASCO was a professional Industrial Designer who fully pursued his passion in the visual arts in 2016.

Many of his early works depicted figuration and social realism. Basco wanted to portray the lives of people dealing with their own struggles. The artist’s interest in portraying the common man started decades ago when he lived in the Malate district of Manila. As Basco progresses with his promising career in visual art, he continues to explore a style he endearingly calls Fabulism. 

As a visual artist, RV Basco integrates myth, allegory, and fable as a means of comprehending the intricacies of life.
