Arguably the most famous Filipino Artist, Fernando Amorsolo has been known for his deft hand with nearly any media. His iconic backlighting technique remains a spectacle until this very day. Amorsolo’s creative process in composing his genre works consists a lot of his artistic direction. Much like you would a stage play, Amorsolo’s imagery is structured very dramatically — hinting at themes and undertones with his brilliant semiotics. This set of sketches from the early to late 50s are some of his studies. Amorsolo created these to conceptualize and compose his subjects’ very nature — each character playing a role in the narrative that has become his oeuvre.
