The recent exhibition ‘Saglit’ reflects on the lifelong journey of this master painter and her long-time, ever evolving museFor as long as Fil Delacruz has been a visual artist, the diwata, a mythical being that has always been featured prominently in his works. Filipinos will almost always describe a diwata as something similar to fairies—beautiful and ethereal figures that reside in and protect the forests.
In his recent exhibit “Saglit” at Art Lounge Manila at the Podium Mall in Ortigas City the artist turns to his muse once more. This time, however, long-time followers of Delacruz’s works will notice that the features of the female figures seem just a little bit different. But for the 73-year-old Delacruz, perhaps there are other things that matter more than going against the flow of time. “As I mature as an artist, I have been contemplating the concept of time,” he says. “That my diwata is evolving not just as a symbol of eternal beauty but as reminder to me that youthful radiance is temporary but the artistic soul is immortal.”
Delving more in his recent fascination with time, the artist explains that he believes time is like a book and that people’s lives are divided in chapters.“We start out in youthful adventures, then we mature in personhood and raise a family, and now that we are in the twilight of our years, we are able to view our journey and from time to time introspect.”
