The Flora Filipina exhibit will be held from July 26 to Sept. 6, at the second floor of Orange Project Building, at Art District in Barangay Mandalagan, Bacolod City.
Floral Artists Manila (FAM) bloomed in 2019, founded by Addie Cukingnan and Remy Boquiren as a space for women artists to explore the power and poetry of flowers.
What began as a shared love for blooms has since grown into a vibrant all-female collective that reimagines floral imagery across a wide range of styles and mediums—from luminous watercolors and expressive oils to intricate mosaics, and sculptures.
FAM artists speak in many visual languages—some rooted in realism, others embracing abstraction—but all draw from the natural world as a metaphor for beauty, resilience, and transformation, a press release from Orange Project said.
Their past exhibitions, such as Floral Splendour, Women in Bloom, Flourish, and Floriography, charted the group’s journey through personal expression and collective growth, it added.
In Flora Filipina, 22 artists come together to honor native and endemic flowers of the Philippines, creating works that are not only visually stunning but deeply grounded in place and identity.
This exhibit continues FAM’s mission to support women artists and elevate floral art as a serious and evolving practice within Philippine contemporary art. “Flowers may be delicate, but in the hands of these women, they become powerful statements of culture, creativity, and care.” ||
