San Pascual works with themes such as the preoccupation with the intuitive pinning down of experiences in full color and in full circle, so to speak. San Pascual adds another motif: recognizeable and overlapping images of faces. The ensuing cross between abstraction and representational painting- the creation of patterns from the images of people's faces each other as if in a carnivalesque crowd. The intricacies of pattern, when seen as composites, converge and convey a single stretch of form -a web of sorts- that relays a compositional and conceptual unity within the work.

Kulay-Diwa is a venue for Philippines and Southeast Asian Contemporary Art. Inaugurated on February 7, 1987, Kulay-Diwa, is strategically located within a cluster of communities South of Manila. It has five independent exhibition areas able to accommodate large-scale works and a garden ideal for programs, performances and sculpture installations. The goal of the gallery is to discover and promote the works of young, talented but deserving Filipino Artists and to foster cultural interaction and exchanges with the local regions and other countries.
