About
The Artist
Luwalhati's paintings interpret and capture the patterns, colors and play of light that nature brings, from the coral reefs of the 7,641 islands of the Philippines to the beautiful snow-covered French Alps, which leads her to see and tell stories of another world that she imagines and longs for. She wants to integrate her background and influence as an interior designer with her passion for fine arts.
In her art studio in Paris, together with the support and help of her community Agapé Art, she has developed a unique technique known as Pigmented Ink on Carved Paper. This method involves using the movement and layers of Asian colored inks to craft figures and forms that are further enhanced by the intricate carvings of the paper. Her intuition, observations and studies led her to create her series of semi-abstract and abstract paintings with layers of colors and textures through her personal technique of ink on sculptured paper. This is one aspect of her repertoire but she also creates playful illustrations of fantasy and reality.
Since she has returned home, she is delighting in blending this technique with her illustrations, which draw inspiration from rich childhood memories, stories, and cultures of Bohol and the Philippines.
With every piece you purchase, you contribute to their ministry supporting families in need on Bohol Island. Their missions work provide counseling and coaching for these families, launch entrepreneurial opportunities, and serve at Tagbilaran Community Church, as well as various ministries throughout the region.
