About the Artist

MARCELO C. QUEZON

Marcelo Concepcion Quezon or “Celo” was born on the 13^th of April 1982 at Quezon City, Philippines. He started painting when he was 6 years and has been holding pencils, brushes and pastels since then. The 34-year-old artist is not much different from the other artist.  One look at them and none would ever think that they are makers of beautiful and striking pieces of paintings.  Celo has spent his time teaching other people learn the different techniques in painting such as oil, pastel, acrylic and watercolor.  Celo likes every medium although he excels most on pastel.
