St. Lucy's Church, 1980
Mixed Media (Watercolor and Pastel on handmade paper*)
10 x 13 inches
Dr. and Mrs. Sylvester Almiron Jr. Collection, New York 1983
Established by the Augustinians in 1587 in Narvacan, (a town where my parents come from), is the seat of the Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia, the Narvacan Church aka St. Lucy (Sta. Lucia) Parish Church. Natural calamities, fire and war destroyed parts of the stone church, but restorations, with the assistance of the United States War Damage Commission, the Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia, and generous patrons, saved the facade’s overall look.
*The political and economic turmoil in the Philippines during the 80's resulted in shortage of art materials because all were imported. In response to the paper shortage, an artist/paper maker Louie Stuart from Tiaong, Quezon produced paper using cogon grass and other indigenous materials. Louie Stuart became the source of paper for the BGA.

Mixed Media Collage:
Digital photo collage, acrylic on canvas
Coined by Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso, the term ‘collage’ points towards a medium simultaneously serious and tongue-in-cheek; a technique that is deeply referential of the political world in which the works were produced. Via the assemblage of different objects and images, collage interrogates the fundamental concept of what it is to create art, while offering a prismatic reflection of the social change and political upheaval of 2020.
The Covid 19 Death Milestone Series were constructed using digital collages of newspaper covers, magazines, and works by photo journalists as well as my own photographs. These works pioneer an art form bent on demonstrating that art itself could be collected from the everyday media clutter of modern life. This series challenges the racist, anti immigrant, Covid deniers, and divisive political codes perpetuated in the 2020 Pandemic America. It is my hope that through art we create awareness of the important life and death issues during this American Plague.
Covid 19 Death Milestone Series #3
How Do We Grieve 300,000 Lives Lost?
Dec. 16, 2020
Mixed Medium: Digital photo collage, acrylic on canvas
40x30 inches
For this third work for the Covid 19 Death Milestone Series, I used the homepage cover of a special collection of reports by NBC News dated Dec 11, 2020 “How America Gave Up and How we Fight Back” as a backdrop for the work.
Using acrylic paints, artistic rendering was done on 3 photographic collages:
1. NBC News Homepage Cover designed and development by Jiachuan Wu, Ellie Frymire and Robin Muccari*
2. Hannah McKay’s photo of a person kneeling down in front of the art installation 'IN AMERICA How Could This Happen...' by artist Suzanne Brennan Firstenberg on the DC Armory Parade Ground, in Washington D.C., U.S.
3. Headline “How Do We Grieve 300,000 Lives Lost?” from NPR Shots Health News dated December 14, 2020
Note:
*I lined out "How America Gave Up and How we Fight Back And how we fight back" and edited it as " How an American President Gave UP And How he did not fight back “ and added the number of US deaths for Dec. 16, 2020 (305, 287 K) in peach.
Covid 19 Death Milestone Series #2
200,000 Deaths and Rising, Sept.21, 2020
(An American President's Failure)
Mixed Medium: Digital photo collage, acrylic on canvas
40x30 inches
For this second work for the Covid 19 Death Milestone Series, I used the cover page of TIME Magazine’s September 21, 2020 issue. Just like the NY Time's front page in my first series, the cover page of TIME was my canvas.
Using acrylic paints, artistic rendering was done on 3 photo collages:
1. George Steinmetz, a photojournalist with a 35-year career shooting for National Geographic and The New York Times Magazine, was confronted by police while photographing Hart Island, a strip of land near The Bronx that has been the city's potter's field since the 1700s. The National Press Photographers Association told the news outlet it was aware of one other drone confiscation at Hart Island since the pandemic began. NYPD officers reportedly took Steinmetz's $1,500 drone and charged him with violating a city law that prohibits drones from taking off from locations other than an airport.
2. Artist’s photograph of an Opera Singer, singing Puccini’s Aria “Nessum Dorma”
3. Artist’s photograph of a field of purple and white tulips.
Note:
I lined out "AN AMERICAN FAILURE" and edited it as "AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT'S FAILURE" and added the number of US deaths for Sept. 21, 2020 (200,686 K) in lavender.
Covid 19 Death Milestone Series #1
'100,000 Deaths and Rising', May 24, 2020
Mixed Medium: Digital photo collage, acrylic on canvas
30x30 inches
For this first work for the Covid 19 Death Milestone Series , I used the May 24, 2020 front page of the New York Times as my canvas. (NYT front page that day was an obituary with 1000 names representing almost 100,000 deaths).
Using acrylic paints, artistic rendering was done on 3 photo collages:
1. AP photojournalist John Minchillo, captured aerial picture of workers wearing personal protective equipment burying bodies in a mass grave trench on Hart Island, April 9, 2020 in the Bronx borough of New York City before police confiscated his drone.
2. Artist’s photograph of an Opera Singer, singing Puccini’s Aria “Nessum Dorma”
3. Artist’s photograph of a field of purple and white tulips.
