My artistic influence is primarily rooted from the icons and iconography of the Byzantine Period or Early Christian Art. Secondly, the dynamics of Philippine socio-political history, its crises, reversals of fortune and upheavals has always drawn me to create paintings that contain strong allusions and personal commentaries to real events and personages in contemporary Philippine society. In line with these, I have developed a unique approach to my subjects through the use of the following: 1.) gold leaf painting support for oil paint; 2.) partition of the picture plane thereby creating a framing device for the visual ideas and the narrative that sometimes accompany the images; and 3.) the use of iconic symbols.
