ART STYLE &
INSPIRATION

Cesario "Jojo" La Madrid Jr. draws inspiration from deep cultural connections and nature. His work reflects the essence of Kapampangan culture, influenced by the song "Atin Cu Pung Singsing," which symbolizes completeness. His nature-inspired sculptures, like the Leaf Series 2, come from spontaneous inspiration when observing plants. Jojo’s creative process is guided by the material itself—especially wood—which often leads the direction of his work, creating organic, geomorphic shapes without detailed sketches. His sculptures can take various forms, including abstract representations or figures, and he brings commissioned works to life while infusing them with his personal artistic vision.

ART TO
SOCIETY

Art is a form of expression that allows individuals to share something meaningful, bringing happiness or significance to others. A truly impactful artwork should have a soul or spirit, creating a deeper connection with the viewer. Art inspires by evoking emotions and fostering an emotional bond, making people feel joy or fulfillment. When someone purchases art, especially in support of a cause, they not only appreciate the piece but also feel the value of contributing to something meaningful, enhancing the artwork’s importance.
