About

Eduardo Mutuc also known as “Tatang Edie” is a Filipino artisan and metal smith. He was born on October 12, 1949, in Apalit, Pampanga.

 

He is an artist who has dedicated his life to creating religious and secular art in silver, bronze, and wood. His intricately detailed retablos, mirrors, altars, and carosas can be found in churches and private collections. A number of his works are quite large, some exceeding forty feet, while some are very small and feature very fine and delicate craftsmanship.

 

He is dubbed as the Kapampangan master craftsman of religious and secular art in plated silver. His delicate craftsmanship and attention to detail are apparent from the smallest piece of metal craft to the forty-foot retablos he produces.

 

For an artist whose work graces cathedrals and churches, Mutuc works in humble surroundings. His studio occupies a corner of his yard and shares space with a tailoring shop. 

​

He was conferred the “Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan or the National Living Treasures Award in 2004”.
