Artist's Featured PieceTitles: SarimanokType: Digital ArtSize: 1080 x 1920 pixelsYear: 2025Description: The Sarimanok serves as a primary visual anchor for my philosophy of Decolonial Minimalism, where I distill this sacred Maranao symbol into raw digital geometry to reclaim indigenous Filipino narratives from Eurocentric artistic frameworks. Exhibited globally at The Wrong Biennale, this piece rejects Western minimalist detachment, using digital restraint and a vibrant, unblended palette to compress the heavy weight of ancestral memory into absolute shapes. By preserving the vital symbolic relationship between the bird and the fish, the artwork stands as an institutional assertion of cultural sovereignty, spiritual survival, and a quiet refusal to let our history be flattened by outside perspectives.
Featured OnLocation: London, United KingdomIts Nice ThatDescription: IJWBAA’s Decolonial Minimalism is both manifesto and archive, reclaiming minimalism from its colonial framing and reorienting it toward Filipino heritage. Through elemental forms, indigenous geometries, and compressed memory, the book demonstrates how simplicity can be resistance and silence can be protest. Folkloric figures like the Manananggal are distilled into balanced dualities, weaving traditions like Binunghay are reframed as sovereign logic, and deities such as Anitun Tabu are rendered with authentic rhythms of wind and rain. Seamlessly blending postcolonial theory with digital practice—from VR installations to algorithmic art—the book positions minimalism not as erasure but as a potent voice, proving that tradition can adapt, thrive, and shape futures rooted in ancestral presence.Date: Coming Soon

Whether it’s a boy and his loyal dog set against a sunset-red backdrop or a girl with her curious black cat on a serene blue canvas, both pieces strip away complex detail to focus on pure "good vibes." Through minimalist design, the artist captures the essence of gentle, everyday bonds, reminding us that the most meaningful stories are often found in simple moments of being seen and loved.
