Selected Works

Finalist, 20th GSIS National Art Competition (Non-Representation) 

 Acrylic on canvas, 3 × 4 ft, 2025 

Figure 1A: On the Matter of Silence studies the tension between concealment and clarity. Soft shifts of light move across the surface, suggesting form without fully resolving it.

The work holds at the threshold of recognition, where structure begins to emerge, then recedes—testing how much.  

Honorable Mention, 19th GSIS National Art Competition (Non-Representation) 

 Acrylic on canvas, 4 × 3 ft, 2024 

Shrouded Harmony explores a quiet balance within obscurity. Layers of deep blacks and softened edges create a restrained field, where form remains partially concealed.

Subtle tonal shifts guide the eye, where structure registers through subtle tonal shifts.

Entry, 21st GSIS National Art Competition (Representation) 

Acrylic on canvas, 3 x 4 ft, 2026 

Shared Duty places small figures within a field of intersecting planes, where scale and distance suggest a quiet, collective presence.

The composition is structured through layered geometric forms, evoking systems that support and connect. Subtle shifts in color and placement guide the eye, allowing relationships to emerge gradually through sustained looking.

Finalist, 18th GSIS National Art Competition (Non-Representation) 

Acrylic on canvas, 3 x 4 ft, 2023 

Enigma holds a central position within the body of work, engaging with ambiguity through restraint and tonal control. Subtle shifts between shadow and faint illumination create a contained, magnetic field.

The composition does not resolve immediately. Instead, it invites sustained looking—where form emerges gradually and meaning remains open, held in balance between clarity and obscurity.

Enigma en Rosso: Prima Amore introduces a muted red undertone within a restrained tonal field. Subtle shifts in hue alter the depth of the surface.

Color is held in tension rather than fully revealed, inviting sustained looking as form emerges gradually through layered marks.

Shifting Form is built through sweeping arcs and layered strokes, where mass holds in quiet motion across the surface.

Light moves along these curves, revealing shifts in weight, tension, and direction. The composition resists a fixed structure, allowing form to shift through subtle variation and continuity.

Surface in Motion explores movement within a restrained tonal field. Curving marks overlap across the surface, creating a controlled sense of flow.

Light shifts subtly across the composition, suggesting form through motion and where form is suggested through motion rather than fixed structure.

Circular Field engages with surface and repetition within a restrained tonal field. Layered circular marks build across the composition, creating a controlled rhythm of movement.

Light moves subtly across the surface, revealing shifts in pressure and density. Structure emerges gradually through texture and motion.

Emergent Plains unfolds through intersecting surfaces and subtle tonal shifts, where structure begins to register within a restrained field.

Directional marks guide light across the composition, revealing transitions between planes. Form remains partially unresolved, held in a balance between solidity and ambiguity.
