About the Artwork

Raising of the Santo Niño during the Sinulog Festival--capturing the moment Christianity was introduced to the Philippines with color and patterns

The piece celebrates the vibrant and iconic Sinulog Festival, held annually in Cebu City every January. It highlights the moment when the Santo Niño (Child Jesus), the patron saint of Cebu, is displayed to the crowd by the Carnival Queen during the Sinulog dance.

The use of deep blue and gold tones, combined with intricate patterns and geometric shapes, evokes a sense of majesty and sophistication, creating an atmosphere that feels important and commanding.

Peter Bruce
Cebu City, Philippines

Peter has 10 artworks,
and is available for
commissioned work.

Peter is UK-born and is now a permanent resident of Cebu.

He studied photography at Paddington College London. Then, he took up watercolor painting approximately 10 years ago. His work combines the two mediums using the photographic techniques of composition, light, and "capturing the moment," combined with the vibrance and saturation watercolor gives.

He views the familiar Filipino street scene differently--seeing a landscape of pure light and color. That sari sari store, jeepney, advertising hoarding, etc., is not a function to get coffee, shampoo, or a ride home but a source of high saturation of color within the moment. His art documents the ever-changing life of the Filipino, which will adapt and vary in years to come.

He has exhibited at art fairs, like the Tubo Art Fair in Cebu.
