Andres Barrioquinto (born April 6, 1975) is a Filipino artist known for his surrealistic portraits that combines elements deriving from the iconography and aesthetic of Baroque with Japanese woodcuts (ukiyo-e), reinterpreted into a Pop style.

In his paintings, men, women, and anthropomorphic animals are shown in forests plentiful with butterflies and birds, introducing the theme of vanitas in a context of strong visual impact.

Early life and education

Barrioquinto was born April 6, 1975 in Manila but lived throughout many places due to his father's job of writing and editing. He spent many of his teenage years in Hong Kong, studying at Royden House School. After his studies, he went back to Manila to get a college education. In Manila, he studied as a Fine Arts major in painting at the University of Santo Tomas in 2000. Barrioquinto has always found a sense of poetic comfort in music. As a result, his artworks has been strongly influenced by the music of The Smiths, Jeff Buckley, and Soundgarden and even the lesser known ones like The Sound and Nick Drake.

Awards and recognition

Barrioquinto has received various awards and recognitions such as the MetroBank Foundation's Aces Award for Continuing Excellence (2009), Cultural Center of the Philippines’ Thirteen Artist's award in 2003, and a back-to-back recipient of the UST Benavidez Awards in 1999 and 2000. He then had 19 solo exhibitions in the Philippines and 5 in Singapore. Some of his works can be seen in the Singapore Art Museum^{[citation needed]}

In 2018, he showed Portraits, a special exhibition at the National Museum. He is one of only a few living artists to do this, featuring contemporary depictions of today's most influential faces: Ben Chan, Baby Fores, Josie Natori, and Bea Zobel Jr, to name a few. In that same year, he was included in the roster of PeopleAsia magazine's People of the Year awardees and the year after that.

In 2021, he was included in Lifestyle Asia's The List

In 2022, Rizzoli New York published a comprehensive monograph on the life and career of the Filipino artist Andres Barrioquinto. It contains essays from renowned art critics and curators Demetrio Paparoni, Patrick Flores, and Ricky Francisco.

In 2023, for the third consecutive time, he was again included in Lifestyle Asia'a Most Influential PH list.
