Filipino Heritage Painter Dante Hipolito Passes Away

MANILA, Philippines - Filipino Heritage Artist Dante Hipolito has passed on into the next life.

While Dante's works have been around for many years and his body of work quite immense, Dante's work received much attention due to a work created in time for the arrival of Pope Francis in Manila.

In the 29”x24” oil on canvas painting created by visual artist Dante Hipolito, Pope Francis is seen with Marian Rivera, Kris Aquino, Coco Martin, Gary Valenciano, and Sen. Grace Poe.

My sincerest condolences to the Hipolito Family.
