This is the exhibit of Dominic Rubio, titled Maynila. In this exhibit, Rubio, who has had a successful career of exhibits in Manila, Hong Kong, Singapore and most recently in Toronto and New York, returns to Manila with a very powerful exhibition.

He will be exhibiting 40 works using Manila’s colonial imagery as a source of boundless inspiration successfully eliciting that nostalgia around the romantic story of our great oriental city. Paete, Laguna born and educated at the University of Sto. Tomas, Rubio is the Founding Member of the prestigious Guevarra Group of Artists.

This event promises to be a very exciting one as well. Whereas in MANILART09 we were partnered with Mastercard and BDO who invited their Platinum and Titanium card holders, this time we are working with HSBC Premier who will be inviting the Premier clients. We are also expecting the top collectors It also promises to be an upscale and dressy affair, we are urging our guests to come either in Filipiniana or in business attire.

For entertainment, noted and internationally popular violinist John Lesaca together with the Two Seasons classical upright bass and guitar duo will perform.
