Flowers and animals have been part of picture โ and art-making since prehistoric man first started depicting what appear to be bison and buffalo on the walls of caves in Lascaux, France and Altamira, Spain as a means of capturing the spirit of beasts and invoking success in hunting expeditions. Plant and floral motifs have appeared as decorative details in ancient Greek, Egyptian, and Chinese civilizations, symbolizing the blossoming of life and creation.
Today, Filipino artist ๐๐๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ draws on the lifegiving energies represented by these creatures in his pieces for ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ง ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ฌ, combining them with human figures to create fantasy hybrids with hyperrealistic features and physical attributes imbued with the artistโs deep knowledge of texture, color and form.
By combining fine portraiture with Demateraโs penchant for rendering flora and fauna in painstaking detail, he coaxes the viewer into witnessing visual celebrations in oil paint, drawing from his intensive immersion into apprenticeship, the techniques of Dutch and Renaissance Masters, and a personal aspiration to represent the best of Godโs creations on canvas.
