The work of Waraynon Biologist, Strategist and Visual Artist Hazel Llemos takes one to the heights of nature’s intricate orchestrations as well as the depths of enduring hope amidst societal injustices that plague the Filipino masses. Often, her works are a mixture of the two elements: bright and bold floral hues persisting in the dark and despondent premise of her subjects’ realities. The fine detailing and brush work in her realism pieces are highly attributed to her affinity for portraiture and her amazement of the human eyes’ story-telling prowess. Seamlessly intertwining science and art, Hazel Llemos, with her scientific mind and artistic heart, brings forth pieces that not only captivate aesthetically but also provoke thought.
