KULAY SA TUBIG: WSC REPRESENTS 💧

September 12, 2026 — Works by Watercolor Society of Cebu members Mr. Alex Gocotano, Mr. Aliver Escaño, Mr. Biboy Sinon, and Mr. Eduardo L. Solana Jr. are featured at the Kulay sa Tubig Exhibit by Gallery Genesis at OPUS Mall, Quezon City.

We're proud to share that our members are part of the country's most prestigious and longest-running national watercolor competition. 🎨

We'd also like to highlight Mr. Richard Romeo for being a Kulay sa Tubig Hall of Fame Artist — a remarkable achievement! He won the Kulay sa Tubig Competition in 2020, 2022, and 2025, a three-time champion whose mastery of watercolor continues to inspire.

The WSC Members’ presence in this exhibit is a testament to the excellence that the Watercolor Society of Cebu nurtures.

Check out each painting to see the story behind them. The exhibit is open until September 26, 2026.

TUBIG UG KAHAYAG: OFFICIALLY OPEN! 💧🌟
In collaboration with Nagkahiusang Sugbuanong Pintor (NSP).

SEPTEMBER 12, 2026 — Every painting begins the same way, water on the brush, light on the surface. Water flows and carries memory. Light reveals what was always there. This exhibit is where the two meet: artists dipping into water, trusting the light to guide them, and capturing moments that would otherwise slip away.

An early celebration of Christmas — a season of hope arriving gently. Step in, slow down, and let the water and light speak to you. We are pleased to share that Tubig ug Kahayag Exhibit is officially open! 🤩🎄

During the tour, each artist shared the story behind their work, with different interpretations of the same theme, all equally beautiful and meaningful.
• Alex Gocotano — "Simple Wonders"
• Aliver Escaño — "Glide"
• Amay (Ricardo Carilimdiliman) — "Salingsing"
• Biboy Sinon — "Rosario Against Three Dutch Corsairs"
• Eduardo L. Solana Jr. — "The Reflection"
• John Pabrua — "Dunggo"
• Kristine Angela Uy Kintanar — "Azul Patagonia"
• Queen Wei — "Minalungao National Park"
• Richard Romeo — "Molded by Fate"
• Ting Nimor — "Relic of a Peaceful Tomorrow"
• Zin Ortiz — "Under the First Light"

Special thanks to Black Smokehaus and their Operations Manager, Ms. Harlyn Coronel for hosting us, and to Mr. Bryce Ken Abellon of SunStar Cebu for documenting the celebration.

We’d also like to thank to the WSC Events Committee for their support in making this exhibit possible.
