About the Artwork

BenCab’s keen observation of everyday moments comes to life in his visual storytelling. This is much revealed in “Afternoon Break,” where he captures the essence of rural life by depicting farmers on a lunch break amid the serene countryside. With each brushstroke, he gracefully mirrors the subtleties of daily existence and our shared humanistic experiences—inviting the audience to discover beauty in the ordinary.

In 2009, the University of the Philippines’ College of Fine Arts, his alma mater, gave him a doctorate in Humanities, honoris causa. He received another honorary doctorate from the University of the Cordilleras in 2018.
