About the Artwork

"Resilience Unveiled: Empowering Thru Medusa Suffering" is a profound painting that intertwines themes of resilience, empowerment, and the journey from darkness to light. At its heart lies Medusa, her countenance a testament to her trials. Yet, amidst her suffering, there is a palpable strength in her gaze.

Surrounding her are purple lotus flowers, their vibrant hue symbolizing awareness of sexual violence. The lotus itself embodies purity and the potential for transformation. Emerging from the murky depths, these blossoms symbolize the human spirit's ability to rise above adversity and find purity and strength in the face of darkness. 

Using muted tones of grey, purple, and black, paired with flowing, serpentine forms and eerie eyes, this artwork evokes a haunting, dreamlike quality with an atmosphere of enigma and surreal beauty.

Jaime has 50 artworks,
and is available for
commissioned work.

Art conveys stories, evokes emotions, and transcends the material realm.

Born in Mindanao, studied in Visayas, and now working in Luzon, Jaime, also known as DUAG.art, is an Ilonggo artist and architect who specializes in abstract and Abstract Expressionism art whose symbolic storytelling conveys emotions, life experiences, as well as travel takeaways promoting both Bisaya and Filipino dialects.

Ever since the artist’s return to the art scene in 2022, his artworks have been exhibited at several art shows in the Philippines, such as the Sining Galing, the Grey Space (IBP Charity Auction), South Arts Festival in Crimson Alabang, GSIS Museo ng Sining, Art Show Philippines, and more to come.

The artist’s choice of materials and art style is heavily influenced by merging upcycled materials with acrylic to turn into mixed-media art that captures emotions and life experiences.

He starts with rigid materials as metaphors for conventional masculinity that society expected men to be like, then turns them into tasteful and visually flowing masterpieces that symbolize how anyone can also be soft, flexible, and nurturing--and these qualities do not make one any less of a person. As someone who embodies these qualities, his artworks celebrate individuality, not being boxed up to certain qualities; their unique qualities make him the artist he is today.
