“Floral Muse,” is Kim Tugade’s latest collection of botanical paintings at Galerie Joaquin Collective. This mini-exhibition features the up-close illustrations of her muses, the delicate blooms that have deeply captivated the artist.

This series of visual permutations breaks down form, movement, and stillness into their key parts to create a diversity of abstractions. As viewers navigate through this mini-exhibition, they are invited to build their interpretations about space and movement with the essentialized elements the artist illustrates. Moreover, while challenging one’s perception of three-dimensionality, Patrick Esmao simultaneously reveals the different facets of his artistic practice across genre and medium.
