Joel Reglos’ solo exhibition, “Flow of Life,” is a contemplative journey into the intersection of art, spirituality, and the unpredictability of life. Inspired by the psychological concept of “flow,” the artist channels this state into his creative process, evolving from vibrant abstract works to a minimalist, spiritually resonant style.
Each piece, with its subtle textures, muted palettes, and fluid lines, invites reflection on life’s unnoticed rhythms. This shift reflects Reglos’ artistic growth, emphasizing the importance of faith and serenity in navigating life’s uncertainties. The exhibition runs until Aug. 31 at Altro Mondo Creative Space, offering a serene meditation on existence amid the vibrant energy of contemporary Filipino art.
In this exhibition, Reglos’ brushstrokes, once characterized by vibrant hues and abstract forms, have evolved into a more restrained, minimalist approach, reflecting his deepened spiritual connection and contemplative mindset.
Each piece in this series is meticulously crafted, showcasing a harmonious blend of subtle textures, muted color palettes, and fluid lines. Reglos’ use of soft, earth-toned shades and delicate layering techniques creates an atmosphere of tranquility and introspection. The compositions, though minimalist, are rich with symbolism, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the constant, yet often unnoticed, flow of life around them.
The transition from his previous abstract works to this more refined style is emblematic of Reglos’ artistic growth. He has stripped away the complexities of his earlier pieces to reveal the essence of his message: the importance of faith and serenity in navigating life’s uncertainties. The artworks exude a quiet strength, as if each brushstroke is a meditation on the divine presence that guides us through life’s turbulent waters.
Running until Aug. 31, the exhibition showcases the rich diversity of contemporary art in the Philippines, with “Flow of Life” at its heart, offering a serene yet profound meditation on the flow of existence and the guiding hand of faith.
