Hans Ongelungel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Ongelungel is a self-taught artist from the Republic of Palau. During the 70s, he left the islands after high school to attend college in Idaho. Much of his artwork represents the simple island life he knew during his childhood and pays homage to his Pacific Island culture. He labels all of his paints in order to identify the colors because he is color blind. He currently resides in Oregon.
