Romulo Galicano (born February 4, 1945, in Carcar Cebu) is a Filipino painter whose works are technically academic and philosophical in approach. His works are hauntingly reminiscent of the old Filipino Masters with modern sensibilities. He has mounted numerous one man shows and won various awards. He was on the board of judges for several competitions like in PLDT-DPC Telephone cover 8th visual art national and UST on-the-spot painting competition.[1]
Born to a family of artists, Galicano studied painting under his uncle, the Cebuano realist master Martino Abellana from 1961–1965 . In 1965 Galicano arrived in Manila and took up fine arts at the University of the East where he apprenticed under abstract painter Florencio Concepcion who taught him abstract design. Galicano trained further under Sofronio Y. Mendoza. In 1968 he began full-time studies in painting, afterwards he started painting together with the Dimasalang group during 1969–1975.
