Philippine History Paintings

My artistic process involves construction of history painting through an amalgamation of research and collection of historical records; juxtaposition, alteration and appropriation of photographic images that represent an historic event; and internalization of a witness' assumed and imagined interiority of mind and invasion of the witness' privacy of experience. A by-product of this process is the emergence of a space shared by the viewer and the painter in such a way as both stand in the same space looking at the painting.
