About the Artwork
The artwork represents the natural beauty of Bacolod women, the inner strength of Negrenses, and the spirit of optimism found in the Masskara Festival.
In the 1980s, Bacolod City experienced dark times. Its sugar business industry plummeted, and a luxury liner, MV Don Juan, sank carrying hundreds of passengers. Despite the tragic incidents, as a form of defiance, the Negrenses created the Masskara Festival to revive their industry and boost their tourism. Wearing their "smiles," they have faced adversities and succeeded.
Bacolod City was reinvented as the City of Smiles, and the festival is now celebrated annually.
(The artwork is on display at JT's Manukan Grille, 32nd Ave., BGC, Taguig City, from Jul. 14 to Oct. 15, 2023.)
Bold primary tones and vibrant contrasts accentuate the warmth and energy of a lively event. Rich details in the subject evoke traditions and cultural celebrations, embodying joy and vitality.

Jason Ray has 16
artworks,
and is available for
commissioned work.
Jason Ray is a freelance graphic artist and painter. He has graduated with an advertising degree but making paintings, drawings, and sculptures is more of his passion. He also took a master's degree in fine arts that focuses on painting and sculpture. More into stylized and abstract art, his works are inspired by his childhood experiences in the province and his favorite songs, stories, movies, or series. He mainly uses acrylics for painting, which he finds very flexible, durable, and comfortable to use since it has a faster drying time and uses less mineral spirits than oil. Before he starts painting, he does around five studies, and then he combines the best elements. He does multiple layers to ensure solid colors; he is meticulous when making lines.
