Roderick Macutay

Roderick "Derrick" Columnas Macutay (born September 12, 1971 in Pasig) is a Filipino mural artist and contemporary painter, known for his distinctive subject of surreal portraits of humans, robots, cyborgs and android like creatures and his signature color of monochrome blue usually with a vibrant accent color. His works range from mural paintings to oil paintings and illustrations.

Roderick graduated in 1992 from University of Santo Tomas, after studying fine art painting for four years. Additionally, he trained with Angono Masters.

Macutay was mentored by Salvador Juban, a protege and assistant of the late Carlos “Botong” Francisco, a National Artist and a titan in modern Philippine art.

Contributions to Philippine Historical and Cultural Heritage

In 2021, three historical markers unveiled in Guiuan, Eastern Samar, Philippines, in commemoration of the Quincentennial of the First Circumnavigation of the World were based on the sketches of muralist Derrick Macutay and executed in dust marble relief by sculptors Jonas Roces and Francis Apiles. In 2016, Macutay handled the digital graphic art of the book - Historical Atlas of the Republic (of the Philippines), published by The Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office. The book showed the development of the Philippine geopolitical landscape, the colonization of the Philippines by different foreign powers, and the expansion of Philippine national sovereignty. In 2014, he created a commemorative coin design and a stamp design for the 70th anniversary of the Leyte Gulf Landing in the Philippines. In 2012, the Museo Diocesano de Pasig showcased the history of Pasig as intertwined with that of the church, from prehistoric times to the present. This was portrayed by artist Derrick Macutay in a 60 ft x 5 ft mural in acrylic exhibited at the museum hallway.
