About the Artwork
Raising of the Santo Niño during the Sinulog Festival--capturing the moment Christianity was introduced to the Philippines with color and patterns
The piece celebrates the vibrant and iconic Sinulog Festival, held annually in Cebu City every January. It highlights the moment when the Santo Niño (Child Jesus), the patron saint of Cebu, is displayed to the crowd by the Carnival Queen during the Sinulog dance.
Dynamic contrasts between bold blues, yellows, and reds create an emphatic and festive atmosphere, with cultural and ceremonial symbolism evoking a sense of reverence and pride.

Cebu City, Philippines
Peter has 10
artworks,
and is available for
commissioned work.
Peter is UK-born and is now a permanent resident of Cebu.
He studied photography at Paddington College London. Then, he took up watercolor painting approximately 10 years ago. His work combines the two mediums using the photographic techniques of composition, light, and "capturing the moment," combined with the vibrance and saturation watercolor gives.
He views the familiar Filipino street scene differently--seeing a landscape of pure light and color. That sari sari store, jeepney, advertising hoarding, etc., is not a function to get coffee, shampoo, or a ride home but a source of high saturation of color within the moment. His art documents the ever-changing life of the Filipino, which will adapt and vary in years to come.
He has exhibited at art fairs, like the Tubo Art Fair in Cebu.
