Orland Espinosa is an Iloilo based artist whose works carefully portray various religious, social and cultural contexts. His sculptures are made through patiently cutting and stripping multilayered materials and sculpting hardwoods to create symbolisms through subconcious images. He contemplates deeply on the basis, domination and direction of religious and cultural dogmas in pursuit of artistic expression. Orland invites numeration on reality through works that represent perseverance and passion, arising in the world of contemporary art.
