A devoted master of the Filipino genre, Manuel Baldemor has, for decades, depicted the sights and sounds of our culture as expressed through animated colors. Fashioning a visual language that is characterized by translucency and evocative shapes, the artist displays an unstinting resolve to inflect his works with grace, such as in this resplendent work. Here is a trio of epic artworks that emanate the heart of the Filipino spirit in one lot. Prusisyon embodies the spectacular tradition of Catholic processions—a festival mainly done to give honor and remind us of the biblical characters during the ministry of Jesus—that we inherited from our Spanish forefathers. In May Ngiti ang Isang Umaga, Baldemor gleefully wishes to make his viewers feel the gift of new beginnings, experiences, and adventures brought by fresh mornings, whereas Malayang Mga Ibon pays tribute to the beauty of freely flying birds in the dawn.
