The Ateneo Art Gallery hosted the Re-Imagining Nature Workshop last 24 February 2026, a hands-on experience of how we perceive and reinvent the natural world through abstraction.
This public program was organized in line with the exhibition Mauro Malang Santos: Drawings. Malang was celebrated for his expressive sketching and his ability to translate the vibrant chaos of life into bold color and geometric harmony.
The workshop invited the participants to take inspiration in featured works in the exhibition, under the guidance of Ateneo Fine Arts lecturers Mary Cruz, Roselle de Guzman, and Andy Pavia.
Participants were tasked to take nature and reality as reference, and were taught basic techniques in drawing such as color, texture, value, and perspective. They were also introduced to the concept of abstraction, specifically how to translate and render reality into various artistic interpretations.
Participants were able to apply these techniques through a practice session on site at the ground floor galleries of the AAG, allowing them to explore different subjects and render their own drawings. Whether they were practicing artists or beginners, everyone left with a new perspective on how simple observations can turn into creative imagery.
This public program was organized in line with the exhibition Mauro Malang Santos: Drawings, which concluded its run at the Wilson L Sy Prints & Drawings Gallery, Ateneo Art Gallery last 15 March 2026.
