Philippine Art as
Filipino

 Many scholars debate on the identity of art produced
by Filipinos. This speculation on the “Filipino-
ness”of works by Filipino artists is caused by our
colonial history and migrant reality. The plethora of
influences brought by the Spaniards, Americans and
other Asian countries has become part of our
identity that is evident in our art: Spanish-inspired
architecture, American-influenced poetry and music
and so on. The migrant reality of globalization also
shaped Philippine art.

 Leo Benesa, a Filipino poet, essayist and art critic
said that there is certain characteristic of Filipino art;
he said “the idea was that the depiction of scenes of
everyday life and the surroundings without
idealizing them was closed in spirit to the Filipino
soul and native soil”. Benesa describes Amorsolo’s
works as the “most expressive of the ethos of the
race and the predominantly agricultural
countryside”.

 In the case of Philippine literature in English, where
language casts doubt on the “Filipino-ness” of the
literary work, many regarded the works written in
Filipino or other regional languages more Filipino
than those written in English. But as Filipinos
become learned in, adapt at, and even a master in the
use of the English language, literary works,
regardless of languages is truly Filipino.

 As times are quickly changing, brought about by the
advancement in information technology and
communication, the identity of the Filipino in the
arts is one that is constantly struggling and evolving.
In the songs of Gloc-9 or the dance steps of the
Jabbawockeez, Filipino artists try to bring the
nation’s experience and talent in the global arena.
