DANNY C. SILLADA is a painter, poet, musician, critic, philosopher and performance artist from Philippines. As a multimedia artist, he has already received numerous citations and awards and to date, has already launched 12 one-man shows as a surrealist painter.
Author and art historian Manny Duldulao hailed Sillada as the foremost Filipino colorist in the country (Philippines). His works, according to the University of the Philippines professor and art critic Reuben Ramas Canete, 'are culled from manifold, eclectic sources, as diverse as his biographical experiences, and the polyglotality of the embedded culture of the Mindanaoan. Sillada's works evoke a general air of hyperspatiality studded with the more everyday visualizations of terrestrial environments, reminiscent of the surreal hyperspaces of Yves Tanguy, E.M. Escher, Rene Magritte and Paul Delvaux.
As a multitalented artist, Sillada, as described in the research paper submitted to the University of Asia and the Pacific, he is the embodiment of a Filipino who defies the existing trend. His multi-faceted attribute in the humanities, as a Filipino Renaissance man, is identical with those of well-rounded historical figures during the Renaissance period in Europe.
βHe is a visual artist recognized in the Philippine art scene for his paintings and installation artworks, a literary writer who is into prose and poetry, a philosopher, whose writings are akin with existentialism, a first-rate performance artist, and also an art-critic.β (The Life & Works of Danny C. Sillada by Michael Marlowe Uy & Katrina Kalaw, September 2006).
