Caviteño chef and artist Jesse “Hands” Esplana announced that he will hold his fifth one-man show at the Big Daddy Bar and Grill Restaurant on Daang Hari Road in Molino, Bacoor from September 17 to October 17.
Entitled “Bare,” the art show presents Esplana’s new series of nudes that celebrate his love for women.
Like many artists, he expresses his sentiments and aspirations so powerfully on the canvas that he can only describe them in poor, halting words.
Still, viewers can share Esplana’s transport by getting to know his thoughts and techniques.
The sensuous artist said “the characters portrayed in my paintings showcase the wonder of a woman’s anatomy in its simplicity, but radiant with extraordinary love, kindness, greatness, humility and understanding.”
In a painting, he narrated, he transformed a model into what he called an “angel of light [full of] beauty, awesomeness and perfection, presented with classical music in an underwater scene.”
This almost religious ecstasy electrifies his exhibit that “is an expression of my dedicated career as a visual artist who is struggling to turn his dream into reality. My dream flies above the ocean of a long journey and approaches the little and big stars of my life with hummingbirds playing in the forest, with loud and tweeting sounds of joy and victory.”
