Vincent de Pio (born March 20, 1979) is a Filipino artist and a graduate of the University of the Philippines School of Fine Arts, where he majored in painting.
De Pio is the fourth child of artist and professor Gig de Pio; his siblings are Simkin, Gig Jr, Domino, and Julian de Pio. He was exposed to various art techniques and styles from a young age, including drawing anatomy. He cites the expressionism art movement as an inspiration, and his subjects range from landscapes to portraits and figurative works.
De Pio is also inspired by classical music, and his first solo exhibition featured paintings of a woman playing a cello. Later, he shifted his focus to Japanese culture. De Pio's paintings often explore social politics, as well as fictional and non-fictional narratives. His artistic influences include his uncle, Vicente Manansala, and Kent Williams. He is also inspired by Juan Luna and Arturo R. Luz and lists Impressionism and Cubism as artistic movements that inspire him. He often combines expressionist and realist techniques in his work.
He has participated in over 20 group exhibits and has been a finalist in competitions at the UP College of Fine Arts, the Metrobank Art Competition, and the GSIS National Art Competition. De Pio is an artist member of Galerie Joaquin, where he had his debut solo exhibition.
De Pio's sculptures have been exhibited in Manila, Singapore, and through online platforms.
"Quiet Fortissimos" was Vincent de Pio's first solo exhibition, held from January 30, 2009, through February 13, 2009, at Galerie Joaquin in San Juan, Metro Manila.
The title of the exhibit reflects the dynamic element in de Pio's works, with each artwork intended to reflect changes in the artist's moods and techniques.
In 2005, de Pio was among the artists invited to exhibit at fundraising concerts held in memory of cellist Tiking Lopez. Ena Song, a visiting Korean cellist, was one of the guest performers. De Pio was reportedly drawn to her and imagined how he wanted to approach his paintings the first time he saw her. Song, who did not speak fluent English, became his muse, inspiring several paintings even years after their first meeting. These paintings later formed the majority of his first solo exhibit.
