Filipina painter, Maria Pureza Escano, will have her first international exhibit at the ICO Gallery in Tribeca, New York..
Pureza will be participating in the group show, “New Motions of the Figure”, a realism show which shall also feature the works of Blake Ward, John Boe Paulsen, Kevin McKrell, Ned Martin, Nelly Drell and Jean Dorch.
Maria Pureza Escaño, a self-taught artist, was born in Sariaya, Quezon, a town from which she sources the birth of her creative soul with its dreamy and colorful vistas and its rich culture of Fil-American-Hispanic infusions.
Known in the Philippine art scene for her excellent realism renditions of rustic scenes in oil, acrylic and watercolor and the sinuous quality of her abstract works, Pureza is considered as one of the most promising artists in Manila.
Buds Convocar, President of the Art Association of the Philippines describes her paintings as “can be ranked with the great American impressionists” while Dekada Arts, an online gallery, considers her style as “a bold deviation from the common impression of what is Filipino.”
