Sabel
Inspired by a real-life scavenger, he photographed and sketched
in 1965, the Sabel image has become the artists vehicle for the
transmission of intensely emotional moods. When pushed to the
limits of abstraction, the Sabel image serves as a fertile ground
for the investigation of shape and structure.

Magpupukot
Magpupukot means pulling in the net.

favourite subjects. Angono, his
