ABOUT THE WORK

Filipino modern artist-expatriate Nena Saguil wove a cosmo of forms in pen and ink, mixed media, watercolor, and oil. There is a complexity in Saguil’s abstractions, as the audience is left to decipher the objectivity of her composition while the expressive nature of which concurrently pervades the work as a whole. Such has allowed Saguil to pique her audience’s curiosity, and tap into their emotions simultaneously — resulting in a magical interplay, induced by the evocative nature of her art.
