Cebu City, Philippines in a community of artists, Filipino painter Romel de la
Torre's artistic interest started at a very young age. With the encouragement
of his parents he began sketching the world around him. He started getting
awards and recognition from school competitions and at age 10 appeared on TV
after receiving a medal for his painting. n the late 70's Romel and his family
migrated to the United States where he began going to museums studying and
learning on his own; works of famous artists like Sargent🎨, Joaquin Sorolla, Fechin, Alphonse
Maria Mucha and the
American Impressionists.

exposure to these masters' paintings laid a strong foundation to his belief of
what great art is. He attended the American Academy of Art in Chicago, where he
was awarded🎨 the
President's Foundation Award and the Union League Scholarship Award. A
consummate artist in all media, Romel de la Torre is one of today's most highly
