Almost all the artworks were sold out on opening day, a mark of success for the recently concluded “Women Rise: A Women Artists Exhibition.” Featuring 37 female artists, the event was held in celebration of International Women’s Day and Women’s Month.
The style is distinctive and modern, while also nostalgic, shot through with bright-toned vistas of the past: Filipinos from the Spanish colonial era, captured in portrait mode, their large faces round and serene, with elongated necks suggestive of Funko Pop characters, set against historical backdrops of Old Manila and Intramuros.
