IN a quick, introductory chat on the sidelines of her debut solo exhibition at The Farm at San Benito in Batangas, Rachel Ngan Dueñas mentioned that she only started painting during the pandemic’s onset.While most picked up a new hobby to simply pass the time in lockdown, Dueñas had a different reason for picking up a paint brush. Art-making served as her release, transforming all the intense emotions that her tea meditation students put into works of floral abstraction.
She told her friends to give tea meditation a shot. Before long, Dueñas found herself conducting classes of different sizes. Group sessions are mostly fun and tackle only what’s on the surface, but working one-on-one cuts deeper, she said, revealing more intense feelings of pain, insecurity, grief and more.
Interestingly, Dueñas’s channeling of negative emotions on canvas produces works of almost child-like floral art, which feels as innocent as they are jubilant. The artist said it’s a conscious decision to send the message that our perception of pain should be reimagined.
