The visionary behind OBRA is an artist by heart and an architect by trade. Art is one of the passions he had since childhood up to now, competing and pushing the boundaries of canvass and art forms.
Ar. Louie Nandro Vito is a licensed architect and passionate visual artist whose love for the arts has driven him to build a creative community rooted in learning, expression, and excellence. With years of experience in both professional architecture and art instruction, he brings a rare blend of technical precision and artistic intuition to every workshop and program he leads.
Inspired by the belief that art is for everyone, Louie founded OBRA Art School with a simple but powerful vision: to create an accessible, inclusive, and inspiring space where aspiring artists — regardless of age or skill level — can discover and develop their unique creative voice.
Under his leadership, OBRA has grown from a small workshop initiative into a thriving art school community, offering programs in visual arts, crafts, calligraphy, and more — all delivered with the same warmth, dedication, and passion for the craft that Louie has embodied from day one.
