About the Artwork

    The series "PANLAKATON: Journey of Life from Solitude to Family" features three interconnected artworks. The central piece, designed to be installed both right-side up and upside down, symbolizes the transformative journey from isolation to community.

    Together, the pieces explore the evolving connections and personal growth experienced throughout life’s journey, capturing the transition from solitude to the warmth of family and belonging.

    The use of muted earth tones combined with contrasts of dark shadows and white highlights conveys tension and harmony. Fluid human figures amidst rocky textures and branches evoke both struggle and connection, creating a mood of resilience and grace.

    Mandaluyong City, Philippines

    Jaime has 49 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.
