The Philippine Embassy in Brussels is pleased to welcome papercut artist Mr. Alberto "Badz" Magsumbol, who will be visiting Belgium in June.

Mr. Magsumbol is a visual storyteller based in Manila. He does art projects and commissions, and shares his advocacy of reaching out to children through art all over the country and abroad. His conservative style reflects the somewhat countryside feel of the old Valenzuela where he grew up.

Aside from his remarkable portraits, Badz is more well-known for his papercuts, which transcend the usual papercut craft from simple two-dimensional art to three-dimensional paper relief sculptures.

Those interested may wish to join Mr. Magsumbol's art workshops (limited slots available):
