Collection: ARTIST SIGNATURE SERIES: Francis Nacion

Shop the artist signature collection of Francis Nacion.

Francis Nacion’s works are recognizable for the brightly colored half-faced characters often portrayed in genres of happy and contented people harvesting bountiful harvests, families spending time together at home, romantic serenades, and friends having fun—bringing the subjects of Amorsolo and his ilk to the contemporary. All these unraveled in the most dazzling of colors, his familiar pinks and magentas and sky blues, in ample and generous passages that always leave a smile on the face of his viewer. Not surprisingly, Francis has always said: "Perhaps, that is the mission of my art: to make people smile. I want my legacy to be that of happiness.” For, on the contrary, it is his intense fascination with minute detailing that becomes identified with the Filipino sense of bounty and abundance, all this in a resplendent display of nature as an abiding presence.
