About the Artwork

    "Hiwaga ng Gubat" (trans: Mystery of the Forest)

    It's an abstract exploration of the feeling of trance when you're in the middle of a deciduous forest looking up, surrounded by raw nature behind the gleaming morning sky.

    The tree branch motif is a staple in my art, and this piece is a spiral of branches painted from the center. It also acts as a pseudo illusion of that trance-like feeling of getting sucked into it.

    Created using warm, earthy tones and a swirling pattern that mimics natural forms, exudes harmony and balance, evoking a sense of calm intertwined with energy.
