At a young age, Orly Ypon found his love of art by doing portraits of himself and family and friends. Mainly a selftaught artist, Ypon’s practice is mainly a fusion of classical modes of painting and realism. When creating a scene, the hyper-realistic subject is amidst heavily dramatized situations. In this particular piece, it was exhibited in Altro Mondo Arte Contemporanea in 2015. It was a part of Ypon’s mud series, showcasing the collective Filipino struggle from the reality that they face. As shown, the people in the painting, the people struggling to escape from the mud, which represents a fiery metaphor, one that represents a crisis that must be risen from and fought against. (M.D.V)
