The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas celebrates the 95th birth anniversary of Jose Joya, National Artist for Visual Arts (2003).

A second-generation modernist, he began with representational art, creating meticulous studies influenced by pioneer modernists Vicente Manansala and Anita Magsaysay-Ho. He later developed his signature non-representational style characterized by dynamic compositions, heavy impasto, bold textures, and vibrant colors.

Joya earned his bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts at the University of the Philippines. He later pursued his master’s degree in Fine Arts from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan, where he was exposed to abstract expressionism—a style he would later pioneer in the Philippines. He became renowned for his mastery of gestural painting.

In Paper Fish, Joya boldly overlaps rectangles and circles to evoke a piscatorial composition, infusing the work with an oriental sensibility as an abstract expressionist interpretation of abundance, prosperity, and good fortune.

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas celebrates the 134th birth anniversary of Fernando Amorsolo, the country’s first National Artist for Visual Arts (1972). Renowned for his mastery of light, he earned the titles Grand Old Man of Philippine Art and Master of Philippine Sunlight.

A gifted artist from an early age, he trained under his uncle and master of genre, Fabian dela Rosa, before studying at the University of the Philippines School of Fine Arts in 1908. In 1917, he later refined his craft at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid, Spain through a grant sponsored by businessman Enrique Zobel. Upon returning to the Philippines, he joined the faculty of UP School of Fine Arts and served as its director from 1939 to 1952.

Amorsolo became known for his idyllic portrayals of the Philippine countryside. Influenced by Spanish artists Velasquez and Sorolla, he developed his distinct interpretation of the Iberian sun in his plein air (outdoor) paintings of Baguio, Mandaluyong, Los Baños, Nasugbu, and other landscapes. His commercial success as one of the most sought-after portraitists of his generation established him as one of the leading figures in Philippine art.

In Reclining Woman Reading, Amorsolo captures a young woman’s unconventional moment of repose—absorbed in reading rather than engaged in domestic chores commonly depicted for women of her time. Her timid smile and relaxed posture convey quiet introspection, while the interplay of chiaroscuro lends depth and subtle drama to the composition. Soft angled daylight draws attention to her focused solitude, creating an intimate and contemplative scene.
