Hermes Alegre

Hermes Alegre is well-known in various art circles for his beautiful interpretation of the Filipina maiden – shown as frankly seductive, alluring, yet with a quiet sense of mystery. Although the subject seems to stare back at the viewer, it maintains a self-absorbed look shaped with a romantic vein.

Aside from a memorable gaze, the Filipina is also observed as a specimen of tropical beauty enriched by surrounding visual elements such as dense foliage, vibrant greenery, and thicket vegetative growth.

Alegre’s merging of nature and the maiden shows are renditions marked by extreme stylization of sharp contours and prominent angles of poses – signaling outstanding confidence on his evident eloquence of his brushstrokes.
