Ernesto Pujazon was the former Head of School for
Taylor’s Design School, Taylor’s University, from
2014 to 2019. He is currently Senior Lecturer in the
Foundation in Design programme while pursuing his
PhD at University Technology MARA, titled
‘Application of the Western Interpretation of
Perspectives and Elementary Space, in Malaysian
Visual Arts’. A graduate from The Autonomous
National Fine Arts School of Lima, Pujazon is also an
artist; he favours subtle colours with thin layering of
washes, giving the impression that his enormous
canvases are large watercolour works. His use of icons
dominates the canvas, creating an instant impact on the
viewer. The viewer is drawn in, subsequently realising
that these paintings work in two distinct levels.
