Since his graduation from Fine Arts at the University of the Philippines in 1991, Michael Cacnio, has built a niche for himself as a sculptor in brass. Barely three years after graduation, he was the sole Philippine representative to the 1994 ASEAN Sculpture Exhibit at the Fukuyama Museum in Hiroshima, Japan where his work Bliss is on permanent display. in 1997, he participated in an international Art Exhibit at the Osceola Center for the Arts in Kisseemmee in Florida, USA and was likewise invited to a roadshow of contemporary Philippine art that toured various cities for the United States. Father, mother, children - the subject of the family has been the core of Cacnio's art. Recalling his own blissful childhood, he focusses on children and their games. |

| His work evoke the nostalgia of earlier times whent he world was the whole and children enjoyed a still harmonious and unthreatened nature. It is Cacnio's thematic forays into the simplicities of Filipino life, family and childhood that he molds his imprimatur on Philippine Art. | ||
"With my art, I want to preserve time-honored recreations and occupations that are slowly fading away. I aim to create timeless pieces that will not only remind Filipinos of their culture, but will make others feel and appreciate the importance of maintaining their own values and traditions as well.
I pray to be identified as the Filipino sculptor who has contributed to the preservation of the Philippine heritage, who is respected and recognized by fellow artists, and who believes that it is thru God¹s providence that have made all my sculptures possible."
