Raul Lebajo

Acclaimed Filipino art historian Alice Guillermo describes Lebajo’s works as “…a subtle commentary of man and his environment that is surprisingly achieved through the incongruous juxtaposition of natural forms and familiar objects.”

Raul Lebajo is a pioneering figure in Philippine art, best known as the country's leading proponent of Environmental Surrealism. His meticulous use of color and composition evokes the natural world while blending fantasy, emotion, and spirituality. Celebrated by top critics and featured in major art publications and exhibitions worldwide, Lebajo's work breaks away from traditional realism, embracing artistic freedom and philosophical depth. Through dreamlike imagery and a strong environmental focus, he helped shape a distinctly Filipino surrealist style, influencing future generations of artists. His global exhibitions and collections cement his legacy as one of the most recognized Filipino surrealists internationally.
