ABOUT THE WORK

For internationally acclaimed Filipino abstract expressionist Edwin Wilwayco, painting is discovery. As he continues in putting his painterly techniques to the test and challenging the limits of his imagination, he is also in touch with his sensitivity and sensibility to style that is often meditative by nature. Choice of color is important for the revered artist; Wilwayco often mentions his fascination with the way his admired artists use colors. In this triptych piece, his attention to color harmony and how nature’s ever-transitioning colors inspire him are evident. Wilwayco is able to capture the natural shifts of color from one hue to another, making his works distinct and evocative—significant contributions to Philippine abstract art. With an artistic career spanning more than three decades, Wilwayco continues in pursuing his experimental explorations as he creates captivating and remarkable works that showcase both his refined techniques and growth.
