BLIC was born in 1985 Philippines, and he graduated college with a computer science degree. He is a self-taught artist, founding member of CVTY Collective, and member of the pioneering street art collective Pilipinas Street Plan. His name BLIC came from the word “public”, which conveys that the artist himself is part of the public. BLIC is known for “Humands”, personified hands that replace faces of characters; the artworks are mainly related to daily scenes and necessities but demonstrates a deeper surreal meaning. He believes that human emotional expressions are no longer limited to the face because hands can become tools for universal communication. “Hands have their own language too. They connect with everybody else.”, said the artist. BLIC participated in Galerie Stephanie’s group exhibition at Quezon, Philippines and hosted his 2022 solo exhibition “Shēng Xiào” at Galerie Ovo, Taipei.
