Amiel Gerald A. Roldan: a multidisciplinary Filipino artist, poet, researcher, and cultural worker whose practice spans painting, printmaking, photography, installation, academic writing, and trauma-informed mythmaking. He is deeply rooted in cultural memory, postcolonial critique, and speculative cosmology, and in bridging creative practice with scholarly infrastructure—building counter-archives, annotating speculative poetry like Southeast Asian manuscripts, and fostering regional solidarity through ethical collaboration.

Grip of Salvation I, II, III A Study Beyond Conceptualism for Ernest Concepcion's Art About When Filipino-American Ernest Concepcion started his works on these transmedia paintings, he started with large square formatted works as studies. He wasn't able to continue the series for an international exhibit a few years back but he was nonchalant about it and expressed more gratitude to our academic training, flexibility, discipline with ideas and concepts from a common art professor at the University. The thrust of creating your ideas through several repetitions, deconstructions, medial studies, and several workloads of hundreds of preliminaries might have brought us shared insights with the artists we really respect.  Gaining understanding & choosing to work the formatted canvas as his large palette offered more challenges to us albeit in a simple way.  For a time, Ernest Concepcion moved to Brooklyn, New York as a young emerging artist. I met him there again in 2003 while o...

I hold myself accountable for these distractions, but they were also lessons. The peripheries of art—documentation, marketing, directorship, curation, administration, facilitation, and pedagogy—have deeply informed my growth.

A pivotal moment in my development was the opportunity granted by the Asian Cultural Council in 2003–2004, which allowed me to work in the United States. That period served as a critical foundation for my growth as a printmaker, painter, and curator. Over the ye...

History of the World   Immortality & the Spiral Ascent of One Juanito Torres About I met the painter and sculptor Juanito Torres in the mid 1990's, a dynamic figurative artist student then. Marveling at his outspoken personality, talent in figurations, observant singularity, unique character, and pragmatic existentialism.  And as a fellow artist student in daily struggle, we sought not only those in the academic institutions but the immensity and proportion of the applied in the real. We went to most leading galleries around and immersed ourselves in the aesthetics and patriotic debates among the norm in the Philippine art scene and the contrasting conceptual half of dissenting norms. He had a wider introduction than most to materials and theories in art early on as he belongs to the elite Makiling HS Visual Arts prior to his taking on a more formal painting course at the University. This earned him the foundation to be independent from any chartered route. Making his own ...
