Orland’s first solo exhibition entitled Signos is a product of his Tuklas Mentorship with Alfredo Esquillo and Renato Habulan. It is the artist’s collection of hierophanies to reflect the biblical concept of “Fatal Signs” or the end of times. Known for his unique adeptness in engraving on canvas to depict an imagery, Orland illustrated confrontational urges to the mystical phenomenon of the sacred. He challenged boundaries and created new possibilities for interpretation in every piece to see each work with infinite forms and meanings, concurrently conveying a huge responsibility to the viewers.
