Edwardo Castrillo is an is an award-winning Filipino sculptor, jewelry artist

and designer who has represented the Philippines at the Paris Biennale

and the Venice Biennale. "The Redemption"; is a set of 13 massive cut and

welded brass figures covering an area of 800 square meters located at the

Loyola Memorial Park in Marikina, Metro Manila. This work is usually mistakenly called "The Last Supper" by many people.

Solomon Saprid's Tikbalang sculptures reimagine the half-human, half-horse creature of Philippine mythology with a playful and lighthearted demeanor, departing from its traditionally fearsome image. One notable piece depicts the tikbalang as a 1960s flower child, complete with a guitar and peace pendant, reflecting the era's ethos. Using a blowtorch, Saprid welds metal strips into jagged, textured forms that exude energy and movement. The sculptures integrate open spaces within the figure, allowing light and air to flow through, creating an airy quality that enhances the mythological subject's ethereal essence. This approach makes the tikbalang a dynamic, modern reinterpretation of Filipino folklore.
