Raymond “Rain” Libiran (b.1973), is a visual artist hailing from Santa Maria, Bulacan. Rain’s love for art began through the drawings of his brother and his favorite pastime, reading “Funny Komiks” (a popular children's comic book), which was regularly brought home by his father and became the initial ground for his drawing lessons. Copying pictures of Filipino heroes growing up, Rain soon realized he will also traverse the artistic path that his idols Salvador Dali, Michelangelo, Juan Luna, Norman Rockwell and Maxfield Parrish have taken.
