As part of its commitment to contribute to nation-building and art appreciation for mental wellness, Philam Foundation unveiled at the National Museum an artistic masterpiece by renowned Filipino artist Jose Alcantara.
Named as “the last maestro of traditional wood carving in the country,” Alcantara is one of the few artists who used the Philippine classical wood carving tradition. Born in Pasay City, he trained in the atelier of the prince of Philippine sculpture during the colonial period, Isabelo Tampinco, after which he worked as a carver in the furniture shop of Gonzalo Puyat. His talent took him to numerous shows and gave him countless accolades here and abroad.
