Jaime Gubaton
As far as he could remember, Jaime Gubaton has always been observing and putting his thoughts on paper and eventually on canvas. As a student he was already winning in art contests early on, he would even beat other students some even twice his height and age.
A Fine Arts graduate with a major in Advertising from the University of the East Caloocan in 2003, Gubaton would eventually win in bigger and more prestigious national competitions such as the PLDTDPC National Cover Art Contest, ArtPetron National Student Art Competition, Shell National Student Art Competition, Department of Agrarian Reform On-the Spot Painting Competition, and Metrobank Art & Design Excellence Painting Category.
For Gubaton, one must paint works that inspire in a style that has never been done before, have respect for Philippine culture and tradition, and lastly, honor your audience whoever and whatever they are in life. Such has been his artistic philosophy.
Gubaton lives in Caloocan City, Philippines with his beautiful wife Jacqui and their two children.
