About Chan Lim

The Chan Lim brothers are graced with a unique combination of artistic talent and engineering aptitude. In the past four decades, the Chan Lims' have been actively involved in the arts. Professionally, each of the Chan Lim brothers was able to carve a niche for themselves, holding key positions in multi-national companies. Currently, there are already three generations of the Chan Lim family actively involved in the arts.

The revered family patriarch, Chan Lim, focuses on Western art, specializing in Oil and Watercolor. His artwork is characterized by a delicate fusion of Western and Eastern techniques on various media. The Chan Lim brothers Alex , Felix , Rolex and Jolex largely produce Chinese Brush paintings. Landscape, flora, and fauna are the predominant subject matter of the brothers’ artworks. The 3rd generation Chan Lims follows in the footsteps of both the family patriarch and their fathers in nurturing their artistic talents.

Bound by their passion for the arts, the Chan Lims have conducted numerous art workshops, seminars, and on-the-spot painting demonstrations. Members of the family have joined several art exhibits locally and internationally. To date, the Chan Lims have launched 11 family painting exhibits. The Chan Lim family is one of the few remaining notable Chinese brush painting artists in the Philippines today. Their paintings can be found in private collections here and abroad.

Art classes are conducted in the family studio/gallery located in Pasig City.
