Aldrin Dave Basister

Drin is a contemporary visual artist born on March 16, 2000 based in Manila, Philippines. He studied Fine Arts student majoring Painting at the University of the East Caloocan. His works are a mix of illustration and pop surrealism, often depicting nostalgia and memories drawn from Drin’s personal experiences. His signature style involves the use of childlike characters in his paintings that have become a hallmark of his work.

Drin’s works are particularly evocative of childhood innocence, with bright and vivid colors that create an atmosphere of joy and wonder. His characters often appear in strange and surreal settings, further blurring the line between reality and imagination. His paintings invite the audience to reflect on their own experiences and memories, and to create a dialogue between the viewer and the artwork.
