Biography

Milo Abadilla hails from Silicon Valley California from as early as 1988, and is originally of Filipino heritage. A self-taught artist, his technique explores elements and realms of the abstract, fantasy, and surrealism. His medium is oil on a canvas substrate. His subjects depict life experiences reordered and reinvented by social challenges, rituals, and recurring themes. Beginning his work based on a platform of reality, Abadilla often ends up with an art piece incorporating spontaneous and unscripted elements. The artist seeks to create a hidden plot in his art – an encrypted message that one is invited to decode and decipher with no right or wrong answer.  Beyond merely creating a painting, posing this kind of challenge is what separates and elevates Abadilla’s work.
