EUGIE VARONA DELA CRUZ
Sculptor
and Master Carpenter
|
Gino, as his friends call him, is
a self-taught sculptor and carpenter. His exposure to woodworking happened
during his childhood days. He would watch his father, a hobbyist carpenter,
make wooden jalousies, doors, tables, and chairs for their home. His father
never allowed him to touch sharp tools but would lecture him on how to choose
the appropriate wood, as well as to always have patience when working with
wood.
He started his career in
woodworking as vintage and antique furniture restorer as his hobby. Through
reverse engineering, Gino learned the technique of early master carpenters on
wood joinery; he studied the flaws and strength of old furniture designs.
In his travels to Prague, Italy,
Germany, and the US, he learned the western styles and techniques of
carpenters. He learned the symmetry of wood, joinery techniques, and fusion of
old and modern woodworking design.
With his acquired knowledge of
Philippine and Western wood craftsmanship, he had developed his style of
functional sculpture. His works are
exquisitely intriguing how a beautifully handcrafted artwork shall be
functionally durable.
Gino’s
inspiration in his sculptures evolves with family . His mind-boggling art
involves mathematics, science and
physics .
He
always incorporate functionality in his
art that the whole family can
enjoy.
Gino
studied political science, economy, history and social science.
He
was a professor of History, Philippine Government and Social Science.
From
1995, he worked for National politicians as a political analyst, political officer, consultant, and national
campaign leader until the 2013 election.
