Homage to Gaia

Pintô Art Museum and Arboretum proudly presents “Homage to Gaia,” its traditional year-end exhibition opening on Sunday, November 23, at 3 PM.

Featuring over 200 artists, this marks Pintô’s most expansive exhibition to date—occupying all four Upper Galleries and Ilustrado I and II at Gallery 7. The sheer breadth of participation offers a panoramic view of Philippine visual arts, bringing together emerging, mid-career, and master artists whose works embody a wide range of materials, styles, and techniques.

Despite their diversity, all artists unite under the theme of Gaia—the Greek personification of Earth, revered as the primordial mother of all life. She stands as both giver and guardian, a timeless symbol of nature’s power, beauty, and fragility.

Curated by Ferdie Montemayor, “Homage to Gaia” serves as a wake-up call amid the escalating environmental crises wrought by humankind’s reckless consumption—made painfully evident by the devastation of recent super storms Tino and Uwan and the fatal flash floods that followed.

In keeping with Pintô’s enduring commitment to environmental stewardship, the exhibition resonates with the museum’s own ethos—where art, architecture, and nature exist in harmony, surrounded by lush greenery and guided by sustainable practices.

🌿 Everyone is invited to witness this monumental gathering of artistic voices.�
