ABOUT THE WORK

One-of-a-kind is the works of Romulo Olazo as his art exudes a sense of opulence despite its monochromatic colors. As the hues dance through veil upon veil of illusionist space, each shape exhibits a curvilinear sensuousness. His approach to form and light, through his remarkable Diaphanous and Permutation series of abstract paintings, is distinctive. A charm of an Olazo piece is its simplicity, its artistic candor. In 1985, the year this painting was created, Olazo held his 10th one-man show, Olazo Monoprints, at the Finale Art File. His works were also featured in international group exhibits, such as Sino-Filipino Modern Art Exhibition in Taiwan, Filipino Master Traveling Exhibit in Seattle and Hawaii, and Philippine Graphic Art Exhibition in Germany.
