Fatima Antonio Baquiran (born March 8, 1971)
Early life
Born to a family of artists, Baquiran is the daughter of renowned Filipino painters Angelito Antonio and Norma Belleza and sister to painter Emil Antonio and well-known contemporary artist Marcel Antonio.[2] She was a Fine Arts student majoring in Interior Design at the University of Santo Tomas[1] but later shifted to Painting, building a full-time career in the latter field after her graduation.[2]
Works
Most of Baquiran’s works are still lifes, particularly featuring a bouquet of flowers in a jar or vase placed on a table juxtaposed with varying elements such as tabletops, windows, and blankets. In an interview she stated that this obsession was inspired by her mother's green thumb.[3]
Baquiran's painting style has been described as a cross between some facets of her favorite European artists
