Eric Cachero
Eric Cachero’s artistic mission is to seek out new ways of visual representation of otherwise ordinary images – a tree, a hut, leaves and flowers, a face, even match sticks. His underpinning aim though is to promote the Filipino heritage as well as take a place in the international arena of world class art. Thus, since his retirement from advertising graphics and multimedia, this has been his driving passion. Eric Cachero, born in 1953, completed a fine arts degree from the unparalleled College of Fine Arts & Design of the University of Santo Tomas, the oldest university in the Philippines. During college, Cachero served actively in various capacities for the college newspaper, as photographer, illustrator and correspondent. Upon graduation from college, Cachero worked in various design studios producing graphics design and multimedia materials for advertising applications. Later on, he set up an animation studio that hoped to produce Filipino original content as well as take on outsourced work. Although Cachero still produces materials for commercial applications, currently he has chosen to focus on fine visual arts. |
