About Bran Studios
Bran Studios is run by Brandon Barcena. A Filipino artist based in Calgary Canada, with photography and videography being his main medium. He strives to capture the essence of his subject matter in attempt to allow the viewer to deeply immerse themselves within his art.
Brandon wants his viewers to feel as if they were experiencing his captured moments in real time, allowing for their own interpretations and imagination to take over, attaching their own meanings and feelings to his work, while still being connected to Brandon’s original expression or depiction.
He is a part of a worldwide artist collective called ‘The Barangay’ (@barangay.co on instagram), mainly based in New York, whose focus is to shine light and to celebrate the creativity and culture within the Asian art community. They have hosted art galleries/ shows in New York, Los Angeles, and the Philippines; in which Brandon has displayed his own work at.
Brandon graduated from Alberta University of the Arts with a Bachelors in Design in Photography.
