The Imahica Art Team sat down with one of the gallery’s featured artists, Pandy Aviado, a prolific figure in Philippine printmaking whose artistic journey spans decades. Known primarily for his masterful print works, this feature offers a look into a different side of his practice, one that is deeply personal, experimental, and rooted in the vibrant creative energy of the 1980s.
Debra Bernales brings a refined sense of balance and sophistication to her visual practice. Informed by her background in fashion, her works express a quiet confidence that celebrates both discipline and instinct. Every composition, every gesture of color or texture, feels intentional yet effortless. This is an embodiment of her belief that true style is guided not by excess but by intuition.
Joel Calalo’s paintings capture the intersection of faith, light, and emotion. Through his deliberate use of texture and form, he draws viewers into moments of reflection that feel both deeply personal and universal. His works invite quiet observation while revealing the subtle ways spirituality can emerge through color and movement.
Millet Galeos Sacerdoti creates textured abstractions that vibrate with color, pattern, and mystique. A self-taught artist, she draws on a wide-ranging background in design, stagecraft, and visual display, weaving these influences into works that feel both intricate and expansive. Her canvases often unfold as imagined inner landscapes, where flora, symbols, and psychedelic rhythms converge in cosmic balance.
Butchie Diano-Peña’s paintings linger in the intersection of stillness and memory. A Fine Arts graduate of the University of Santo Tomas, she refined her skills under the guidance of her mother, herself a painter and advertising director, before shifting into a career in publishing as an art director. That decade-long immersion in visual media sharpened her instinct for composition, but it was the return to her first love, painting, that revealed her most intimate voice.
Jinky Rayo is known for transforming watercolor into a language of both discipline and freedom. Her art spans still life, landscape, portrait, and abstraction, each work carrying a clarity of form while remaining open to imagination. What unites her varied subjects is a mastery of color and a sensitivity that turns the ordinary into luminous experiences.
Dante Enage is a contemporary artist whose practice is grounded in the visual and cultural language of his native Leyte. As both an artist and cultural advocate, Enage has helped shape the creative identity of the Eastern Visayas region, drawing inspiration from the natural environment, local traditions, and materials that reflect his heritage.
Dexter Duquiatan creates paintings that feel alive with movement and mood. Working in abstraction, he transforms color, line, and texture into tools for expressing emotion. His compositions often emerge through instinctive gestures, pouring, layering, and scraping pigment until forms surface organically from the process. Rather than following strict structure, he allows the work to evolve based on intuition and response to the materials.
Jay Ragma’s signature aesthetic, composed of labyrinths of lines pulled taut across clean, chromatic space, continues to captivate with its hypnotic rhythm and structural precision. At once architectural and gestural, his compositions speak the language of grids and crossings while refusing to remain static. Each canvas becomes a system of motion and metaphor, pointing inward as much as outward.
There’s a quiet force running through the work of Jayson Pettz Muring. His canvases are layered, ruptured, and textured like earth that has borne witness to time, pressure, and upheaval. But rather than literal depictions of landscape, Muring channels his roots in Boac, Marinduque into evocative abstract forms. The terrain of his hometown is never directly shown, yet its colors and emotional charge bleed into every piece: siennas, taupes, golds, and soft, fractured grays.
We are open from Monday to Friday, 10 am to 6pm. Weekends by appointment only. We are closed on public holidays.
