Custodio is an important 20th century Philippine artist - his paintings hang in the National Gallery of Manila and at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. Taught by Fernando Amorsolo, Custodio became one of the 'Conservative Group' of artists in the Philippines, painting in an academic, traditional style. His work is also identified as 'Mabini Art' - a distinct mid-century genre and movement in Philippine painting. He won various art awards in the 1950s. He taught others who were to become master Filipino artists, including Navarro, Galvez and Dumlao. At a young age, the rudiments of art had already been imparted into the creative mind of Gabriel Custodio through the artistic honing of his grandaunt, Valentina Velasco, a nun who also dabbled in painting and sculpting. Custodio further sharpened his artistic flair at the University of the Philippines School of Fine Arts, where he was taught by Filipino masters Fernando Amorsolo and Fabian de la Rosa. Custodio graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 1939. In 1952, he opened his art studio along Taft Avenue. Three years later, Custodio would win the 1955 United Nations International Art Competition with his piece My Fishing Village. The work currently hangs at the UN Headquarters in New York City. In 1959, Custodio, together with his contemporary Miguel Galvez, mounted an exhibition sponsored by the Department of Foreign Affairs. A painter trained in the academic representational tradition, Custodio employed thick impastos, which gave his paintings a rich textural quality. His murals at the Saint George Greek Orthodox Church in Salcedo Village, Makati, are among his most significant works. Aside from being the co-founder of the Academy of Filipino Artists and the Talahib Art Group, Custodio also led the Friday Group, an artists’ collective which met every Friday at his studio for sketching sessions. **Note: eBay has a policy that requires the buyer's signature upon delivery for high-value items (Signature Confirmation Policy).
