CONCEPCION SERENITY INCARNATE
Florencio Concepcion employs a calming spectrum of hues and fine strokes in his artworks that have become his trademark. In his column, art critic Cid Reyes wrote that “in our cacophonous midst, there are still artists who recognize the imperative of silence, from whose works we can seek and find solace.” Concepcion was one of the artists he mentioned whose tranquil paintings are worthy of his recognition.
Concepcion’s mastery of color is evident in the harmonious intermingling of hues in his canvas, resulting from his passionate appreciation for music. Although there is a preponderance of black in this particular work, which may bring viewers an aura of distress, his works are akin to finding serenity in our inner selves. The ambiance of this painting brings comfort to the psyche. In appreciating his works, one must not look for verbal explanations but instead encounter the actual piece before one’s eyes, understanding its surface, size, and texture. For Concepcion, his works are a result of his sentiments and artistry. Serenity is the spirit that emanates from his works—a manifestation of his fulfillment as an artist and confidence in his artistry and creativity.","lot_group":"PAINTING","lot_details_html":"
