For this León Gallery 14th Online Auction, it is with great pleasure to present the brilliant mind behind the exhibition design. Medical practitioner and Design Consultant for the León Gallery, Joel Malixi, is a living testament that one can dedicate his life to the medical profession, while also being devoted to the desires of his heart— collecting antiques. With a brain bursting with a multitude of ideas, a heart filled with passion and a merry spirit, Dr. Malixi narrated that he was only a medical school student when he started venturing into the art world, through the influence of his friend, famous Filipino Abstractionist, Jose Joya. Though the complexities of fine arts, Dr. Malixi’s endless search for Joel Malixi, MD Curator knowledge, coupled with the positive influence of his collector friends led him to antique collection when he was already a practicing physician. From then on he became an enthusiast and avid collector. His knowledge was then further bolstered by his forays into the antique shops of Mabini, wherein he learned all the nitty-gritty of antiques. When asked about his style in designing, Dr. Malixi shares, "I work with whatever is there. One can never be sure what the consignors will bring. One has to mix and match, so I guess my style is ecclectic. I try to show our clients the many ways they can use these artworks and antiques in everyday life”. As a short piece of advice to aspiring Design Consultants, he quips “Don’t bore the client. Keep the descriptions concise.” Aside from being the Design Consultant of the León Gallery, Dr. Malixi is also the co-administrator of Facebook’s prestigious page Philippine Heritage Furniture, the premier site of discussion for Philippine antique furniture, wherein he moderates discussions on Philippine Furniture and other artistic topics.
