Angel Flores (1936 - 1968) is a Filipino expatriate artist who died in a motorcycle accident in the US, leaving behind an English girlfriend named Sheila Hollister and around twenty paintings, which Sheila turned over to his two former Ateneo High School classmates, Ramon Katigbak and Benjamin Bautista, in 1969. The paintings were shown on a television talk show, 'Two For The Road,' in 1969, and were included in 'Summer Exhibition' at Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) in 1970 and in the survey, 'A Decade of Developmental Art,' also at the CCP, in 1979. A solo exhibition was also mounted at Joy Dayrit's Print Gallery in 1971.

The initials in the document refer to: B (Benjamin Bautista), K (Ramon Katigbak), R (Roberto Chabet), and D (Joy Dayrit). Bautista, Katigbak, and Chabet co-created the fictional persona Angel Flores.
