However, there’s a little hiccup: the Philippines as we know it didn’t exist in the 3rd century. Archaeological evidence suggests complex societies existed in the archipelago during that time period, but these weren’t unified under a “Philippines” identity.
Furthermore, detailed records of individual artists from that era are scarce, and there aren’t any known artist names beginning with “Q”.
To make this exercise more fruitful, let’s adjust the parameters slightly. How about we explore:
- A Hypothetical Filipino Artist: We can create a fictional artist from the 3rd century, giving them a name like “Quince”, and imagine what their artistic style might have been like based on historical knowledge of art in Southeast Asia during that time.
- A Later Period: We could shift our focus to a later period in Filipino history, like the Spanish colonial era or the early 20th century, where more information about artists is available.

Remember, art history loves a good dose of imagination, so let’s have some fun with it!
