EDCEL LA ROSA CABALAN, a Visual Arts Awardee for Harvest of Honors (Ani ng
Dangal 2022) of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts under the
Office of the Philippine President, and a Dubai-based Filipino architect.
Edcel’s artistry goes beyond the scope of architecture. He is also invested and
photography and has been given several local and international recognitions in
the photography society. Among his awards include International Photography
Awards, Buildings (IPA-PH), Sultan Bin Zayed Photography Competition, The
Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers UK, Xposure International
Competition, A Falcon's Shadow (Best of the Emirates), and many others.
Watercolour painting has provided an even extended arena for Edcel to feed
his fascination in freezing the moments that are worth to keep- from scenic
imageries, familiar affairs of everyday life, to remarkable elements of modern
and Renaissance architecture. His Impressionist watercolour paintings are a
coalescence of the right stroke, the right colours for the right emotions he
wanted to convey.
