ABOUT THE WORK

Romulo Galicano, the master landscape artist and portraitist from Carcar, continues to bring pride to Cebu with his intimate land and seascape works. Born to a family of artists, Galicano was mentored by his uncle, Cebuano realist master Martino Abellana—who was also called the “Amorsolo of the South” and the “Dean of Cebuano Painters.” Abellana’s influence on Galicano shows in his works of exacting pictorial approximation. This painting captures the beauty of Mactan, a nostalgic and serene depiction of one of its beaches in summer glory. Rich in detail, Galicano approaches his composition with a distinct sense of perspective and balance.
