A VETERAN sculptor now teaching in UST has bagged the prestigious Metrobank Prize for Achievement in Sculpture during the Metrobank Art and Design Excellence competition last September 9.
Glass sculptor Noell El Farol, who teaches at the College of Fine Arts and Design (CFAD), won the award, which recognizes the excellence of mid-career sculptors.
El Farol teaches Materials and Graphics at the CFAD. He previously taught the same subject at the University of the Philippines. Aside from sculpting, El Farol is also known as an installation artist, printmaker, and painter. His works have been recognized outside the country.
El Farol began exhibiting his works in 1978 and has since done 13 solo and more than 50 group exhibitions.
