About Me
Marco Dispo Cañas
Visual Artist
Marco Dispo Cañas is a 22-year-old pop-surrealist egg tray & egg artist from Bolinao, Pangasinan, currently a Baguio-based artist. He does visual arts like portraits, paintings, murals, sculpture, and egg tray paintings.
Marco’s visual artwork seamlessly integrates aspects of lowbrow style with elements of pop surrealism. Through vibrant paintings and whimsical egg motifs, he delves into themes of childhood memories, the therapeutic power of art, and appreciating everyday beauty. Beyond the canvas, his art shines in community murals celebrating local identity and his innovative egg tray series—which garnered national recognition for transforming discarded materials into intricate artworks.
Marco uses powerful color palettes and deep emotional expression to share his innermost feelings, fears, and genuine truth, creating a world of emotional complexities through playful imagery.
