Item Overview

Description

Bryan Teves
(b.1984)
Gift (After Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘Mona, Lisa’)
signed and dated 2017 (lower right)
oil on canvas
Bryan Teves is a child of the North; having grown up in Barangay Parating of Santa Lucia, a
small town just outside Candon, Ilocos Sur. Candon is a far more ancient city, having been
ruled by a Malay datu who dispensed justice from under a magnificent ‘kandong’ tree.
When the Spanish arrived in the 16th century, they cut the tree down as a matter of course
and used its lumber to build the town’s first church. By the end of the Castillian regime,
Candon, had become famous as the most prodigious source of tobacco in the country.
Teves would join the influential Baguio Arts Guild (B.A.G.). The organization had been
founded in the late 1980s by the artist Santiago Bose alongside other famous Baguio artists,
such as National Artist Benedicto Cabrera (Bencab) and Kidlat Tahimik.
Bryan would receive an artist residency from the B.A.G. in 2005 and would participate in
various group exhibitions organized by the guild at different locations in Baguio.
Teves was the 2015 grand-prize winner of the prestigious Metrobank (or MADE) art and
design 2015 competition.
He discovered his fascination for the works of the European old masters recently, seeking to
capture the deep emotions of these famous paintings. He says he is first attracted to the
intensity of expression in the eyes of various portraits and endeavors to add new meaning
by combining a variety of works.
The ‘Gift’, after Leonardo da Vinci’s eternal ‘Mona Lisa’, takes on a more ethereal quality. She
is this time wreathed in cherubs and the fruits of bounty — bringing her inimitable beauty
somewhere between heaven and earth.
