England Hidalgo was born in the Philippines and took Painting at The School of Architecture and Fine Arts at the University of Santo Tomas.  He also took Printmaking at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill, California.  Hidalgo mirrors historical events through text, collage, drawing and painting.  His work portrays the different layers of existence that surrounds him, which includes randomness and chaos.  "The rational part of me marvels at the pointlessness of it at times; but in the end, I'm always surprised by how much sense they do make after all."  Hidalgo is currently living in San Francisco, California.
