Born 1953 in the Philippines, Rod Pedralba trained as an architectural draftsman before moving to Canada in 1974. He studied under SYM Mendoza in the early to mid-80's. Pedralba's art evolved from a blend of concepts into a new modern vision characterized by fragmented patterns and shapes creating a unique form of cubism.

He finds inspiration from travel to the Philippines, Australia and Europe. Pedralba's subjects range from nature, nostalgic cityscapes, human interest and still life.
