Navidad a Través del Mar II
- 24 x 36 in
n "Navidad a Través del Mar II", the series continues its abstract exploration of the OFW experience. This companion piece mirrors the first, yet presents the figure standing in a contrasting environment, representing the other side of the world. The figure, again holding a parol, symbolizes the connection and continuity of Filipino traditions, even in distant lands. The use of abstract elements and contrasting colors emphasizes the dichotomy between the familiar and the foreign. This painting resonates with themes of hope, perseverance, and the unbreakable bond of family, regardless of distance. Together, both artworks form a narrative arc, celebrating the spirit and sacrifices of the OFWs during the festive season of Christmas.

Navidad a Través del Mar I
- 24 x 36 in
Navidad a Través del Mar I" is a poignant and abstract tribute to the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), honoring their sacrifices and resilience. This evocative painting captures the essence of a lone figure, symbolizing an OFW, carrying a traditional Filipino parol - a star-shaped Christmas lantern. The composition is infused with vibrant colors and dynamic brush strokes, representing the cultural richness and festive spirit of the Philippines. The figure is positioned against a backdrop that artistically suggests a foreign land, illustrating the physical distance from their homeland. This piece poignantly reflects the emotional journey of these workers, torn between their dedication to providing for their families and the longing for their home.
