Loose & Colorful
by Ava Bernabe
There’s a certain kind of joy in seeing things as they are and simply painting what delights you.
For her first solo exhibition, Ava Bernabe presents Loose & Colorful— a collection of brush marks that reflect the world as she sees it.
Influenced by the Impressionists, Ava paints with a light, expressive hand. Her works celebrate the joy of everyday scenes: florals, food, & landscapes rendered in playful compositions and vibrant hues. What began as gouache studies during lockdown has since grown into larger acrylic works filled with energy, light, and life.
A world rendered in soft strokes, alive and bathed in color.

BreakFREE!
by Inha Arceo
Gracinha “Inha” Arceo (b. 1994) is a playful Filipino artist born and raised in the Philippines. She is an Entrepreneur, Artist, and Illustrator.
The artist is an advocate of mental health. In this exhibit, her acrylic brushwork and choice of subjects indicate a deeply rooted cultural stigma that we continue to face in current society – dealing with the acceptance of oneself and one’s own mental health. With the use of vibrant hues and subtle references to pop culture, the artist is able to lay out her contemporary vision of how one is able to mentally cope and express one’s own inner emotions.
In her 1st solo exhibition, Inha Arceo expresses what it means “to break free” through her artworks that serve as a cue to celebrate one’s most authentic self especially when challenged. For her, “to be your most authentic self, is to be able to continuously fully learn and accept everything about yourself to be able to feel joy, freedom, and full growth to live a full meaningful life.”

An ARTventure
by Chris Ramos
Her journey into painting began a decade ago, an ever-evolving ARTventure shaped by curiosity and experimentation. Her work is bold, textured, and unapologetically vibrant—a deliberate counterpoint to her all-black wardrobe and her dark taste in music and literature.
Working primarily with acrylic paint and mixed media, Chris meticulously layers her pieces with glitter, confetti, sequins, flakes, and beads—each element placed with painstaking precision, often with nothing more than a toothpick, her tool of choice. Every detail speaks to the rhythm of patience, craft, and play.
This first solo exhibition showcases pieces from Phases 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 of her ARTventure, a body of work that reflects the many layers of her artistic evolution—unfolding, shifting, and gleaming in the light.

Dahan-Dahan
by Kyla Gancayco
Kyla Gancayco presents Dahan-Dahan, a continuation of her introspective journey from Incongruence. If her previous exhibition examined the conflict between thought and presence, Dahan-Dahan offers a gentle shift —an invitation to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with the present moment.
Through luminous landscapes and floral impressions painted in soft yet vivid hues, Gancayco translates the quiet serenity of nature onto canvas. Layers of acrylic, oil, and gold leaf create a sense of lightness, guiding viewers toward a space of stillness and ease.

I Think I Need New Glasses
by Erwin Canlas
This exhibition explores Erwin’s reimagining precision and accuracy [on the captured shot] —that usually defines his commercial photography. Celebrating 10 years of his professional craft, this presentation is choosing instead the deliberate beauty of imperfection and inaccuracy —the blurred, hazy, and unfocused that takes place in the form of abstractions —a quiet rebellion against his usual polished clarity in his professional craft through fine photography pieces. By surrendering to the unknown, Erwin invites us to look closer, to question clarity itself, and to reconsider what it truly means to see.
