About the Artwork
A rendition of a current event that resonates with me deeply.
The subject wears a teal ribbon to raise awareness and show support for survivors of sexual violence, with the hope they will eventually heal from their trauma and emerge like a pure and untainted lotus flower.
May this effort highlight that sexual violence affects individuals of all genders, ages, and ethnicities.
Through the use of dark contrasts and muted tones mixed with symbolic elements like flowers and drapery, it evokes a reflective and emotional atmosphere. The combination of realism in the figure and abstract symbolism deepens the contemplative mood.

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.
