As one of the latest artist to create waves in the Philippine art scene, the works of Wire Tuazon

Rommel Tuazon continuously evoke a sense of surrealism and wonderment as to their exact meaning. A student of the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts, Tuazon’s works evoke a feeling of nostalgia, of childhood memories, and the trauma of history.

His portrayals invite inquisitive questions, and his choice of non-traditional media defy previous connotations of art. Wire explains that this work attempts to make the viewer rethink the other possibilities of historical accounts and to speculate the truth behind the images.

Wire aims to render a different art experience for the community, away from the traditional genres of oil painting and sculpture, as a preservation of culture. “Art is not only for cultural preservation nor it should be used to serve tourist. Above all, art is serves itself for the artist” he explains.
