Our first encounter with a Popo San Pascual painting was at the furnishings store Domicillo in Tagaytay last year. We loved how his colors came together with such grace, and we’ve been looking out for an opportunity to see his new works.

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. [Source:Kulay-Diwa]

Well, I just got this notice from Finale in my mailbox, and boy, are we excited to check this out. This will be something new, since San Pascual works with colors, so we’re curious what he can do with blue and white.
