"Sa Simula" (In the Beginning), Marilen Faustino-Montenegro's debut solo exhibition, curated by Tim Yap unfolds as a poetic ode to nature and The Divine Creator.

Each stroke is a tribute to Marilen’s profound connection with nature as she surrenders to the whims of water, allowing it to dance freely across the canvas. She embraces the fluidity, giving rise to organic shapes reminiscent of various aquatic waves, billowing clouds, and the masculinity of land and rock.

"Sa Simula" serves not only as a reflection of Marilen's artistic evolution but an invitation to pause, rest and be still in the face of nature’s beauty.
