His fascination with fabrics and drapery is evident in his work, where each piece is painted with a blend of precision and fluidity, as if the fabrics themselves are performing a graceful dance upon the canvas. Gabito’s journey to this unique style was born out of a challenge; he found his traditional figurative painting of real human figures to be a weakness. However, this led him to discover his true passion and strength in the artistic representation of drapery and fabrics. Embracing this newfound direction, Gabito has honed his skills to a level of excellence,demonstrating a deep understanding and appreciation of the way fabric moves, folds, and interacts with light. His works are a testament to his ability to transform a traditional subject like fabric into something extraordinary and mesmerizing. Gabito’s formal training in the arts was completed at the University of Santo Tomas, where he graduated from the Fine Arts Painting program. His education there not only provided him with technical skills but also allowed him to explore and eventually find his unique voice in the art world. Today, his works stand as a unique blend of technical mastery and creative innovation, making him a distinctive and celebrated artist in the field.
