What: Filipino Sculptor
Where: France
When: March 19, 2012
A Filipino-Spanish sculptor — Raimundo Folch — won the prestigious Baumel-Schwenck Prize at the fourth "Carrousel Du Louvre 2011" in France, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) reported on Monday.
"The Baumel-Schwenck prize for sculpture is considered as the highest award given to a sculptor by the SNBA, which can be comparable to the Premio Velasquez or Lobo in Spain," the DFA said in a news release.
Based in Valencia, Spain, Folch won the Baumel-Schwenck prize for sculpture at the international painting and sculpture exposition in Paris on December 10 last year.
"Mr. Folch was born in Manila in 1960 to a Filipina mother and a Spanish father. He spent his childhood years in Manila and studied at the Paco Catholic School up to high school before his family moved to Spain permanently in 1976," the DFA said.
Carrousel du Louvre is sponsored by French President Nicolas Sarkozy and organized by the National Society of the Fine Arts of Paris (SNBA).
Every year, some 6,000 artists from all over the world gather together in Paris to exhibit their works and compete for prizes awarded by the jury of the SNBA. - VVP, GMA News
