Sammuel Arboleda Occeno
Received his B.F.A. in Advertising in 1992 at the Philippine Women’s University in Manila. During his first year of undergraduate studies, the late Ibarra dela Rosa took him as an apprentice; as a result, he adopted his mentor’s philosophy that it is essential to focus and give weight to actual studio practice than purely theories. Throughout the years, Samm Occeno, a multi-disciplined artist, experimented with various mediums, styles, and techniques, honing his craft as a studio arts practitioner in the Visayas region.
