Culture, Media and the Arts (Visual Arts)

The Enchanted Kingdom never fails to amaze visitors with its life-like models of American streets. Kids romp around in a playground filled with Art in Kiddie Wonderland and at the Small World at the Marketplace in Mandaluyong. People stare in reverent awe at the “The Resurrection” mural at the lobby of the Legend Hotel in Palawan. Art does not belong to the confines of galleries and museums. It belongs to the people, and must be lived and felt in our everyday lives. And we have Genalyn Tribdino Bocar to thank for this resurgence of art in our surroundings.

These, and many other commissioned works, are but a few of the projects that Genalyn worked on as an artist, muralist and creative design consultant. Her work has graced both residential and commercial establishments and has been featured in many publications. Her partnership with her husband Reynaldo, who is also an artist, is most sought after for their excellent craftsmanship and professionalism. Truly an artist for the people, her work touches the common people as they go about their daily lives.

Genalyn took up Architecture after graduating from the Rizal High School in 1981. She earned her degree from the Central Colleges of the Philippines in 1987. Her marriage with Reynaldo bore them two sons. In 1997, the husband and wife team established the REPHAZA STUDIO, now known as RHEPAZA Fine Art Surface Decorations.
