Arte Bettina presents a solo exhibition by Eddie Santillan, billed as “Return to Nature.” In contrast to most nature scenes, which depict lush and verdant landscapes, Santillan opted for a minimalist and geometric rendition of towering mountains, stark against a skyline and rendered in transparent but emphatic palette strokes, in a pale and subtle color range.

“Return to Nature” runs until May 22. Arte Bettina is at 3/L, Greenbelt 5 (Ayala Museum side), Makati City; Viber/WhatsApp, tel. 0917-1150504; email [email protected].
