About the Artwork
This evocative painting explores the interplay between darkness and inner radiance. Set against a somber, textured background symbolizing life's struggles and shadowed moments, the glowing nude figure embodies vulnerability and strength. The figure's vivid warmth contrasts sharply with the gloom, suggesting the enduring spark within us, even when obscured.
Surrounding lotus blooms rise through the dark, symbolizing resilience and hope that thrives amid adversity.
Through this delicate balance of contrasts, the artwork reminds us that light and shadow are not enemies, but coexisting forces within our journey.
Soft blends of green and orange hues, combined with delicate floral and peacock feather elements, create a feeling of harmony and tranquility, evoking a sense of peace and reflection.

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.
