Haraya Puzzle by Jim Orencio
About the Puzzle
One of the most essential experiences created by art is storytelling. In Haraya, we explore the art of storytelling through the lens of functional art. This limited-edition, 500-piece puzzle introduces a collective and interactive experience between the artist, artwork, and you. With each puzzle piece, the artist’s story is retold. With every image unfolding, we hope it will bring forth a renewed appreciation for Philippine art.

About the Artwork
Fern Path (Pinto Arboretum) captures a tranquil trail in Pinto Arboretum, a place of deep inspiration for the artist. Orencio’s expressive palette and masterful use of light and shadow lend a dreamlike depth, while rich layers of foliage and a winding path draw the eye inward. The piece evokes the quiet thrill of wandering, not in search of adventure, but for the simple joy of moving forward, open to whatever lies ahead.
About the Artist
Jim Orencio is a contemporary Filipino artist based in Antipolo, known for landscapes inspired by childhood days farming with his grandparents on Tablas Island, Romblon. After living in Papua New Guinea, he studied Fine Arts at UP Diliman, joined the Salingpusa art group, and later set up his studio at Silangan Gardens (now Pinto Art Museum) through Dr. Joven Cuanang’s invitation. While his work now includes abstraction, collage, and Filipiniana-inspired pieces, landscapes remain central—reflecting his ecological advocacy and ongoing efforts to turn a forested property into a sustainable farm while promoting conservation efforts.
