          Onib Olmedo (July 7, 1937 – September 8, 1996) was a Filipino painter acclaimed by critics as one of the major Filipino artists of the 20th century.

          Olmedo created a body of works that utilizes the expressionist technique of distortion to portray the inner torment experienced by modern man.

          Rushed to see the special exhibition “Home at Last” and book launch of “Onib and Me”, both dedicated to Philippine modernist Onib Olmedo at León Gallery.

          His paintings are characterized by an implosive impact but have an uplifting and ennobling quality, celebrating the triumph of the human spirit in the face of pain and anguish. At the same time, they are social commentaries with touches of wit and irony – reflections of the artist's quintessential, down-to-earth humor.
