The happiest place on Earth
A Non- Representational artwork of Christian Regis
We are all used to seeing Images of pinoys immersed in the
daily grind. He offers bright burst of colors in his oil and acrylic
painting to scenes of dim drudgery that make the hard life we
are used to something worth living for.
Regis art resonates with the old and young pinoy in the
Philippines and even in abroad who seek that distinct “Manila
vibe” connection.

the humor implicit in the simple lives of people, as well as feats
