About the Artwork

    Rooted in the wisdom of "Desiderata," this painting portrays a powerful embrace of self, both protective and nurturing. The figure holds themselves close, symbolizing inner peace amidst chaos. Flowing elements and sacred symbols at the heart evoke serenity, faith, and the quiet strength when we learn to embrace the stillness within.

    Soft contrasts between earthy brown tones and muted blues with flowing lines give a sense of thoughtfulness and reflection, underscored by spiritual motifs and emotive expression.

    Jaime has 53 artworks,
    and is available for
    commissioned work.

    Art conveys stories, evokes emotions, and transcends the material realm.

    Born in Mindanao, studied in Visayas, and now working in Luzon, Jaime, also known as DUAG.art, is an Ilonggo artist and architect who specializes in abstract and Abstract Expressionism art whose symbolic storytelling conveys emotions, life experiences, as well as travel takeaways promoting both Bisaya and Filipino dialects.

    Ever since the artist’s return to the art scene in 2022, his artworks have been exhibited at several art shows in the Philippines, such as the Sining Galing, the Grey Space (IBP Charity Auction), South Arts Festival in Crimson Alabang, GSIS Museo ng Sining, Art Show Philippines, and more to come.

    The artist’s choice of materials and art style is heavily influenced by merging upcycled materials with acrylic to turn into mixed-media art that captures emotions and life experiences.

    He starts with rigid materials as metaphors for conventional masculinity that society expected men to be like, then turns them into tasteful and visually flowing masterpieces that symbolize how anyone can also be soft, flexible, and nurturing--and these qualities do not make one any less of a person. As someone who embodies these qualities, his artworks celebrate individuality, not being boxed up to certain qualities; their unique qualities make him the artist he is today.
