Flowers and animals have been part of picture — 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 𝗕𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮 draws on the lifegiving energies represented by these creatures in his pieces for 𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬, combining them with human figures to create fantasy hybrids with hyperrealistic features and physical attributes imbued with the artist’s deep knowledge of texture, color and form.
By combining fine portraiture with Dematera’s 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 God’s creations on canvas.
