His unique approach to art allows viewers to reconnect with their past, reflecting on the simpler times of childhood and the cultural influences that shaped their lives. Gev’s ability to merge sculpture with mechanical mixed media sets him apart, making his work a significant contribution to contemporary Filipino art.
