I often find “Tanglaw means hope. In ‘Trees Sonata,’ two figures pay homage to three trees which represent the Philippine island groups of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, paying tribute to the importance of coexistence between human and natural resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNarrative elements signify loss, both direct and consequent, to the ecosystem caused by negligent and careless human activity and politics.

Widely admired for his works in watercolor and acrylic, his art is influenced by his admiration for the art of two great painters: Fernando Botero (Colombia) and Mauro Malang Santos (Philippines).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eObemio uses volume as a central element in his art. This deliberate use of voluptuous and plump figures imbues his works with a sense of strength and a touch of whimsy. Through these figures, he explores the beauty and complexity of the human form while crafting imagined worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe artist has held several successful solo exhibitions and steadily gained admiration from collectors and critics. A member of the famed Saturday Group, Obemio boasts numerous awards, including the grand prize from the 61st Art Association of the Philippines’ Annual Awards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBUY 1, DONATE BOOKS TO JUAN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvery purchase of this book is matched with book donations to two children from disadvantaged communities in the Philippines in support of CANVAS' \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.canvas.ph\/1millionbooks\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eOne Million Books for One Million Filipino Children Campaign.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Looking for Juan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42860234571858,"sku":null,"price":25000.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0068\/2776\/9938\/files\/White_Obemio.png?v=1793357294","url":"https:\/\/lookingforjuan.com\/products\/trees-sonata-by-roel-obemio-signed-archival-print","provider":"Looking for Juan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
