Jaime Raphael Atienza rekindles the idea of resiliency in Filipinos through the juxtoposition of nature-inspired foliage and portraiture. His play with both balance and contrast of strong colors on a muted background suggest the idea of harmony between contrasting elements in his works as well as utilization of opposing theme for people to yield positive result.
