The Whale Boy

In the art community, AG Saño is referred to as the "Whale Boy" for his striking murals that depict life underwater.

The 46-year-old street artist had been bringing color to the dull and decrepit walls in the Philippines for over 14 years now, with his artwork mostly revolving around dolphins, whales, and other sea life to raise awareness on marine conservation.

Saño's advocacy originated in his volunteer work for humpback whale conservation program of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Philippines.

"I was tasked to document the behaviors of whales, dolphins, and other animals.

Nakita ko 'yung beauty nung movement nila, nung the way they live, 'yung value ng buhay nila as social groups. I felt like I wanted to protect them. Not just to take pictures of them, but also to be part of the process of protecting them and conserving their habitats kaya nagtuloy-tuloy pa 'yung involvement ko," Saño said.
