Angelo (Wood Sculpture)
Favoring traditional Filipino subjects, Angelo re-creates them into realistic
figures using native filipino woods (Batikuling, Red Lawaan, Narra, Molave). Angelo
combines classic Renaissance sculpting techniques with Filipino subjects to create a work
possessing both Eastern and Western qualities. |
 |
Leonardo (Oil)
Specilizing in Impressionist-Realist works, he selects the best scenes
symbolizing Philippine culture as his subjects. He indulges in fantasy-based themes
occasionally, straight from the pages of Philippine folklore.
|
 |
De La Cruz (Mixed Media)
Abstract in approach, his work generally splices different colors and scenes
to simulate a patchwork. De la Cruz prefers using darker colors and female protraits
to add an aura of mystery in his art. The figures and symbolism used are more or
less, Filipino in aspect thus emphasizing a work possessing qualities suggestive of
culture and mystique. |
 |
Bandalan (Oil,
Watercolor)
Bandalan's work specializes in floral landscapes. He prefers the use of
lighter pastel colors to emphasize his work. Through these colors, Bandalan's works
emote freshness and innocence. |
 |
Baldemor (Mixed Media,
Acrylic, Watercolor with Pen and Ink, Wood Sculpture)
Versatile in many styles, Baldemor is not strictly confined to Filipino
subjects, indeed, he is one of the most travel-oriented Filipino artists at present.
He travels around the world and translates his impressions in a distinct style for
each and every country he visits. In the Philippines, his subjects are generally
introspective of the Filipino "masses." He focuses on the cheerful nature
of Filipino gatherings. Thus the festivals, religious gatherings, and villages he
creates are done using very vivid and bright colors. |
 |
Melencio (Oil, Oil Pastel
on Sandpaper)
Melencio chooses subjects of a delicate nature and further heightens that
latter quality through a clever interplay of light and shadow. His subjects vary
from birds, fountains, antiques, fresh flowers and greenery all imparted in extreme
detail. His works are evocative of sentiment, freshness, and holiness. |
 |
Verano (Acrylic, Oil,
Acrylic on Tempered Board)
Preferring the shades of blue, purple and lavender, Verano's floral and grassy
landscapes instill a sense of sleepiness and security. His works possess a restful
subtlety present not only in the visual aspecgts but also through it's tactile reality
imparted by the artist's skillfull brush strokes. |
 |
Gabuco (Oil Pastel,
Watercolor, Oil)
Galerie Y's resident portrait artist, Gabuco specilizes in imparting freshness
/ youthfulness in any subject he imparts into canvas. His figures evoke an air of
serenity and enigma. His work is generally impressionistic in a dreamy restful
manner but realistic enough to convey the distinct personality of the subject. |
 |
Rollie Yusi (Watercolor,
Acrylic on Paper)
Favoring floral subjects, Rollie says, "My painting is based on
emotion and feelings of my love for nature. At times I see so much color but only
for a fleeting moment, an ephemeral spark of inspiration that flickers out too
early." |
