Emmanuel Mabagos

Manila-based artist specializing in digital art and watercolor painting. His style is built around warm, inviting tones that are meant to feel playful and hopeful. EA started drawing at age eight and took the leap into professional work as a children's book illustrator in 2020.

In five years, he has already contributed to about ten published books. In 2024, he completed an animation masterclass funded by Globe Hangouts, delivering the top capstone project and leading his class. For EA, art is about impact.

His ultimate aim is to create work that leaves a lasting mark on people—to touch their heart, empower their soul, and help reimagine their perspective.
