The artist and his self-portrait. Below, the abstract work on Mamasapano and one of his paintings featuring women, which he has become known for.
Among his paintings is an abstract work about the tragic Jan. 25 incident in which 44 police officers were killedin a firefight with rebels in Mamasapano, Maguindanao. "What happened in Mamasapano is wrong. Everything is wrong," said Alegre.
Alegre's works also capture women’s charms and beauty, depth and mystery on canvas. The artist says that there is something in women’s beauty that continues to inspire him to render them in art, represented in oils and pastels and drawings. More importantly, painting them is one way for him to pay tribute to women and celebrates their contributions to life and society.
Also on exhibit are stunning new abstract paintings—provocative, deeply sensual, in muted colors. One can imagine the women in his paintings reduced in wonderful abstracts as lines, shapes and vague impressions of raw sensuality.
