Danvic Briones: Many Passions, One Art
Expressive Arts Therapist; Visual artist; Educator; Innovator
Danvic Briones is a visual artist, whose initial works were heavily influenced by surrealism and the subconscious. Fine Arts school, however, led him to another path—printmaking (collagraphy).
Briones carves on soft wood and paints it with subdued colors—the deepest red, moss green, and a maroon that borders on a darker hue. He touches it with a bright yellow and treats it with varnish. The end result: a plate that is not just part of the process but the final artwork.
Based in Vancouver, Filipino Canadian Briones has held several exhibitions in Asia, the United States and Canada.
