Romulo Olazo’s Diaphanous is perhaps one of the most extensive and exhaustive studies of one singular subject. For over four decades, Diaphanous yielded more than 25,000 pieces in studies, paintings, and other works, his obstinacy to pursue the image to its limits and creating a confounding collection that amplified Diaphanous to a different level of artistry.

In this series, as opposed to his earlier prints where he used poetic titles, Olazo adopted a system where he assigned a serial number to a painting, a letter code followed by a Roman or Arabic numeral. Diaphanous #863, created in the latter part of the series, follows that premise and is, at its core, a great example of Olazo’s aptitude. Throughout this series, Olazo experimented with his medium and pigment types, switching back and forth from traditional painter’s ink to painter's oil, which yielded different results. This particular Diaphanous bleeds blue, a monochromatic masterpiece that speaks of gossamer and butterfly wings with their translucent beauty.

“There is something of the obstinate in Olazo when he begins to pursue an idea to its inevitable conclusion,” Alice M. L. Coseteng once wrote in 1986. Indeed, Diaphanous #863 is an amalgamation and a celebration of Olazo’s tenacious series, a creation that speaks of his dedicated talent. (Hannah Valiente)
