ABOUT THE WORK

The creative genius that is Federico Aguilar-Alcuaz has garnered recognition for his brilliant approach to his art. The very European means of abstraction in Alcuaz’ creations flaunt his well-travelled character — but even so, a very strong Filipino quality remains in his works. As in this abstraction by the National Artist from 1970, a very powerful yet alluring choice of palette and form is put on display — the earthy, abstracted figure roaring with emotion, set against the deep, calming blue.
