Orville Tiamson

Orville Tiamson is a Filipino painter, musician, and transmedia artist from Angono, Rizal, Philippines.
Early life
Tiamson was born in Angono, Rizal to Dominador Tiamson, a traditional painter, and a musically-inclined mother. Having been born and raised in the arts capital of the Philippines, home of some of the Philippines' renowned talents and national artists such as Botong Francisco for visual arts and Lucio D. San Pedro for music, Tiamson soon discovered his passion in arts and music. Although he had no proper training during his childhood years, Tiamson began painting as early as six years old and would usually doodle instead of write his lectures in school. He would often relate his love for music with his paintings.
Tiamson attended University of Santo Tomas, majoring in Painting. During his third-year college painting competition, however, his father passed away. The untimely death of his father did not stop him from joining art competitions. He joined several painting contests during his college years but it was the ASEAN painting competition that paved his way to compete in an international level and represent the Philippines, granting him an ASEAN scholarship in 1987. Soon after the ASEAN art competition, Tiamson received offers for different art group shows from several artists throughout the country. Also displayed in his studio are his musical instruments, where his band would practice. Along with other fellow artists, Tiamson would usually conduct painting sessions in the Art Lab.
