PARTICIPATING ARTIST
Darby Vincent A. Alcoseba
Coming from a family of artists, Darby was
exposed to the arts from childhood. He learned the basics from his
father, who is known for his expertise in watercolor. In spite of the
encouragement to pursue a career in painting, he took a course in Computer Engineering,
with the idea of getting away from the economic struggle that his father was
experiencing. Winning his first art competition was a sort of revelation for
him but not enough for him to decide to go full time into painting until his
prayers for enlightenment was answered. After winning the Art Petron
Darby finally decided to pursue his dream. Talent and persistence won him
national recognition when he bagged the Grand Prize in the Watercolor Category
in the Metrobank Art and Design Competition in 2013. It also boosted his self-confidence,
affirming he made the right choice. Darby is a member of Cebu Artists
Incorporated and joins actively in the group’s activities, exhibiting his works
in Cebu, Manila, Davao, Bali, Kuala Lumpur and Kluang.
