LOUIE IGNACIO (Philippines, b. 1965) is a visual artist and an award-winning director. Despite years working in television and films, he has found time to nurture his creativity in painting. Through abstraction, Ignacio diligently shaped his body of work in the steady mastery of technique and medium. As a painter, he attempts to translate music for the eye. He invites viewers to reflect on their interaction with the canvas while making them hear something through his visuals. At every turn, he captures rhythm, relay, and cadence on the canvas surface, ably depicting movement with a perspectival effect and emotional resonance. His grand yet subtle work can pulsate uncannily, throbbing and flickering with colours in exuberant excess of vividness and flow.
