拍品資料及來源

A peculiar flower blooming in a nearby farm from Geraldine Javier’s house was a source of inspiration for the work Que Sera, Sera.The artist is deeply fascinated by the universal world of spirituality and manifests her ideas through her art, challenging our values as human beings.

Identified in the painting are three girls frozen mid-gesture, struck by the smell of the flowers, or by their beauty, Javier challenges the open-ended question. They hold deer skulls which in many of Javier’s past work, symbolizes the innocence of both the deer and children. The exotic plant emanates an unpleasant smell masked by the exquisite exterior that draws visitors upon it. The girls represent deers wandering in the garden, oblivious to their surroundings and of what they may encounter.  Her large paintings are each framed with dynamic embroidery, flourished with different patterns. The decorative tradition is inspired from indigenous Philippine textiles, a unique aspect to her work. Her work carries complex contrasting themes enlightened by personal thoughts in result of a reflection of her inner consciousness.
