Lynyrd Paras
Much of Lynyrd Paras' inspiration comes from his immediate surroundings. The frenzied, chaotic corner of Manila where he resides and works seems to infuse his art with a certain edginess and raw truth. As much as he strives to apply more formal techniques and creative processes gleaned from practice as well as his education, Paras' art still remains a statement about place and the realities and issues that exist in it. Lynyrd Paras graduated from College of Architecture and Fine Arts, Technological University of the Philippines, Manila in 2005. He has exhibited in various cities in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore, as well as participated in various residency programs in the region. Paras lives and works in Manila.
