Tragico was born in Cebu City, Philippines in 1959. His Mother was a Teacher and his Father was a Harbour Pilot.
His paintings are deconstructed to the extent that meaning is shifted and possible interpretation becomes multifaceted. By creating situations and breaking the passivity of the spectator, he investigates the dynamics of landscape, including the manipulation of its effects and the limits of spectacle based on our assumptions of what landscape means to us. Rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is fabricated to conjure the realms of our imagination.
His works are based on inspiring situations: visions that reflect a sensation of indisputability and serene contemplation, combined with subtle details of odd or eccentric, humoristic elements. By applying abstraction, he wants the viewer to become part of the art as a kind of added component. Art is entertainment: to be able to interact with the work is important.
His works establish a link between the landscape’s reality and that imagined by its conceiver. These works focus on concrete questions that determine our existence. Tragico currently lives in Bad Sachsa, Germany.
Tragico completed 1975 as Draftsman at the Negros Oriental State University. Philippines.
Tragico studied Civil Engineering at the Silliman University in Dumaguete City, Philippines, but stopped it and travelled in January 1979 to Germany /Europe in Order to explore the World of famous Artist.
