As a sculptor and painter, Imao was influenced by the cultural traditions of the Tausug and the Maranao. The significance of Imao’s art lies in its foundation; it is grounded in a culture that is imperative to the concept of our nation’s collective identity.
The citation for Imao’s National Artist Award states: “As a Muslim Filipino artist immersed in the rich and colorful tradition of the Muslim south, Imao’s adaptations of the indigenous forms into modern art idioms have infused contemporary Philippine art and culture with uniqueness, authenticity and genuineness of expression. Through his works, the indigenous ukkil, sarimanok, and naga motifs have been popularized and instilled in the consciousness of the Filipino nation and other people as original Filipino creations.” (A.M.)","lot_group":"PAINTING","lot_details_html":"
